having a standard established schedule would minimize complaints.

Bob now replies:

Unlike Ken, I think a standardized schedule will make the conventions 
even more same-ol same-ol than they are already.  I think that each 
convention should strive to be distinctive, distinctive in terms of 
many things, including scheduling.

Harry's comment illustrates the point.  Through the years, we have 
added events, such that the convention schedules have grown and grown 
and grown to the point that they no longer comfortably fit into the 
available days and hours.

The solution, I think, is to go back to the CORSA by-laws, which 
mandate only a small number of things for the convention.  The 
concours is a requirement, as is the general membership meeting, as 
is an unspecified competitive moving event, as are a few 
generally-described thing such as vendors and tech sessions.  Nothing 
says that we have to try to do EVERYTHING at EVERY convention.  Mix 
it up.  Don't try to do it all, all over again, every year.
