Our Bussin' rallies started with 45 coaches the first year, followed by 75, 130, 186, 198, 168, 180 in the following years. I still like the small rallies, but as the small rally becomes more popular, it is no longer a small rally. I was once told to just cut off the registrations at a certain number, but I could never tell someone "sorry, but you can't come to our rally" and of course some will still show up unannounced.
Right now there are 3 large bus conversion rallies, our Bussin' rally, Busn' USA in Oregon, and MAK's Gathering in Arizona. Unfortunately, many busnuts can not drive that far or get the time off to attend these rallies. The nice thing about these smaller rallies such as Paul's TBR, Christy's NJT, and Kyles "non Rally" is it gives people a chance to attend a rally closer to home. Jack
