A huge amount. This is a very big club now. Still, with two drives a weekend on average, 15 Newbies and 15 intermediates totalling 30 members there will be only 3% of the club getting a chance to drive. It shows how fast you must be to register onto a convoy!


( sorry Yougy bro for kidnapping the thread However,) a very good and positive thinking,( JUST THINKING LOUDLY) as long as the high demand on the trips is crystal clear noticed, so it is a good approach to encourage the Almost's marshals to initiate more and more weekly drives to accommodate such demand of hungry off roaders...... Desert is big enough to accommodate several of Almost weekly trips (i.e. 8-10 drives)why not !!! , the option of merging or splitting the convoys is still standing.
3% is much less % to saturate the enthusiasts thirsty to drive, or LET US make open drive giving chance all members to get in, then organize the appropriate convoys PRIOR or on site spot. [/quote]

Dear Adnan, I like very much your enthusiasm for the desert and for off-road activity, nevertheless I think that 8-10 drives a week is a dream.....I would love too, but from my side the only spot available is the week-end, I don't think also other Marshals can afford this on a regular basis.
Regarding your option/proposal for "open drive" I think is something that will collide with a good planning/organization and mainly with safety. I had bad experiences on that way and don't want to repeat it again.
Last but not least, you have to consider that large convoys are not a benefit for most of the participants, are difficult to manage and at the end of the day, the added value is poor, unless we are speaking/thinking about some special event.
The ideal, I would say perfect convoy, is 7/8 cars + Marshals.
Said that, as a personal thought, hope to see you on Friday.
Take care
Yoghy

Just like to point out how great AlShamsi is- He personally called to make sure that I read the last post and can secure a spot in the convoy.

See you all on Friday.
