Double drive signups will open on Wednesday. SINGLE DRIVE REQUEST To prevent all drives from getting full on Sunday by multiple RSVP, we would like to request everyone to please RSVP ONE DRIVE (for the weekend: Friday and Saturday) initially and then RSVP your second or third drive from Wednesday onward, please. Sun - Tuesday - Limiting one drive per member (For the weekend drives: Friday and Saturday). Wednesday onward - RSVP on multiple drives are open. P.S. You can waitlist your name anytime for multiple drives too, like below. Example: Gaurav - Second drive waitlist. This was the notification in the whatsapp. That's why the doubt as this drive is on Thursday. Thanks for the clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
