Dear @Kenneth Bollhardt you have RSVP on two drives

1. NB at Faqa with me

2. NB at Pink Rock with @Vanessa8580

Kindly choose one and waitlist on the other you wish to join as second drive, once double/multiple drive RSVP opens from Wednesday morning, you will be added as per the availability. (As far as this week hopefully you should get both drives as spaces are open as of now.)

This is done to allow max number of members to get at least one confirmed drive on a weekend.
