Hey @Tareq Al Turq already extended the convoy by 2. Won’t be right to extend any further. Still two days to go so let’s see if any change in RSVP status. 

Again, a request to all - if any change in plans, please update at the earliest, so that all can plan accordingly. 

[Varun Mehndiratta]

Hi @Archibald Jurdi hope you noted that you have been added to the drive, as we have one drop out. Please confirm your availability. 
 

Dear All will be finalizing the convoy details around 530pm. I hope every one in the confirmed list is available for tomo. We still have 4 WL so please ensure that you update the RSPV in next hour, so as to enable others to plan as well in case of availability of slot,
