Hi, 

Not sure if I will be able to make it. But rest assured I would be trying hard to get the approval from Home Ministry  to get the chance to learn night desert driving... :-D

Please add my name.

Now why did we not think of that. Wonderful idea, what better way to spent time learning in theory and practical and having time over BBQ later just to sit and discuss and clear any doubts. Excellent initiative @shadow79, I am definitely in.
