After publicising the club through Al Ain Expat websites and newsgroups, we are delighted to welcome some new members from Al Ain to UAEoffroaders.

So please introduce yourself here, tell us a little about yourself, and we will look forward to meeting you in person on one of our trips.

Don't forget, Al Ain members can sign up for any trip, regardless of location, and similarly, our members from Abu Dhabi and the other Emirates are always welcome on our Al Ain trips.

About me - my name is Marina, I have lived in Al Ain for just over a year, and have been offroading at least once a week (very often more), every week during that year. Married to Bluelion and mother of CAMouflage.

I drive a Nissan Patrol SWB Manual, and sometimes Bluelion's FJ. :smiley16::smiley16::smiley16:

A big warm welcome to all of our Al Ainians. Glad you have made it here, and hope to meet you all very soon!!!

Welcome to the gang and to the Eastern Region Chapter. Sounds more gang like doesn't it?

Welcome Shapahoy. You made a good choice with your rig. I have an even older Grand Cherokee, a 98. They are great fun in the sand. See you soon I hope.

Eric, we are the biggest, most friendliest gang one will ever come across.............. I hope!!!

Hello, we new on this site. Been living in Al ain for almost 2 years.
Self taught dune riders - would like to learn more.

We have 2 kids, daughter 4 years and son 19 months.
Drive a Pajero 2009 model.

I would like to sign us up for this trip 30 July - where do I start?

Welcome Sarita. To sign up for any trips just go to that trips posting in the Sand & Trips forum and sign up, simple as that. Normally we require you to attend what is now being termed a "Rookie" trip where the trip leaders and Club Marshalls will go over the club rules, required equipment and pointers. All the clubs in the area require this so that everyone is on the same page regardless of their experience level. Plus it helps us to get to know you.

Don't fret about not having the required Rookie trip under your belt as all it takes is to ask the trip organizer, in this case Marina (MB Hammer) if it would be ok since the next Rookie trip is not on the books just yet. Marina and Neil (Bluelion) are wonderful people so do not be too surprised if they say come on out . Their Rookie trips are an excellent introduction also.

Again, welcome to UAEOffroaders, I am glad you found us.

Thank you Eric - I will follow your instructions, sounds good.

Welcome Sarita
hope to see you on the sand very soon
Have pm-d you some info

PS - Eric - thanks for your kind words I think I will have to hire you as my Public Relations Advisor!
