If anyone would like to come along to our family club day I can get you a ride in just about any Historic Tourinf car from a mini through Cortina, an EH Holden to Various model Mustangs to Comaro and maybe even a Ford Falcon Sprint.
One of our life members got to drive Martin Clunes/Doc Martin on a couple of flying laps round Phillip Island last year. Martin had never been in a race car let lone a mini. Ted Brewster is in his early 1980's and is still a very quick capable driver. The funny thing about the film shoot was that the drone the crew were using couldn't keep up with the car, so Ted was asked to slow down a bit.

I located Clay Goodwin on FB and told him about the SHRR and suggested he join here for more information. He lives in Sydney.

I notice that Clay Goodwin has joined the site and is more than welcome to join our Rocks Run, and we may be seeing John Pridgeon at City Extra at 0930 on Saturday as well.... I've also now spoken to Greg Whitbread as well... Glad to hear you'll be joining us again, Dave Maxwell I'm pleased to add you to the 'Confirmed Attendees' list... Regarding your question re: 'The Frisco', I acknowledge Col's recent recce, but in the short term, as the die has been cast, I suggest we start off at The Frisco, then if we all decide it's untenable, we can migrate elsewhere... I suggest that anybody planning to attend Friday's Basin Trials, but arriving late, PM me for my mobile # in advance (like now,) so you'll be able to contact me if you arrive late and discover we've moved on... ............................ So now, the following seventeen Attendees, in the order of announcing their commitment, will meet for The 2017 (15th) Annual RAN Skilled Hands Sydney Rocks Xmas Pub Crawl Smokey... Attending (Confirmed): Rick 'Tricky' Pengilly Mike 'Pony' Moore Mick 'Mick H.' Hamilton Brian 'Stroppy' Mackenzie Verna 'Toots' Mackenzie Col 'Pussasan' Kelson Mark 'Mobes' Mobley Neil 'Watto' Watson Dave 'Bunny' Warren Brian 'Charlie' Staples Doug 'Gangas' Green Brenda 'Mrs Gangas' Green Bob 'Tafmo' King Rhonda 'Patience' King Henry 'Shoobs' Schubert Howard 'Hendo' Henderson David 'Dave' MaxwellPending (expression of interest): Henry 'Shoobs' Schubert's Son (Awaiting a decision...) Wayne 'Buck' Rogers (Not heard back from...) Greg 'Chippy' Whitbread (Yet to hear back from...) Clay Goodwin (expressed an interest...) John Pridgeon (expressed an intention...)Regulars (Not yet heard from): Gordon 'Gordo' Robertson Sandra 'Sandy' RobertsonDeclined: Bruce 'Slops' Sloper (Declined - Maybe next year...) Wal 'Midge' Midgley (Declined - Maybe next year...) Peter 'PW' Weyling (Declined...)Unable to Attend: John 'Ned' Kelly Ellen 'Babe' Kelly Chris 'SeeJay' O'Keefe Trevor 'Honest Tad' Davies Graeme 'Smiley' Rhodes John 'Viv' McLeod Steve 'Shep' ShepherdI'll leave The Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel confirmed lunch reservation as it stands at 18 for 1300, while still somewhat shy of the ideal threshold numbers desired, there are still a few 'Pending'... I'll also keep the tentative booking for 20 for 0930 at 'City Extra' (Circular Quay) for Breakfast Anyway, Folks, it'd still be nice to see some more names on the list...!
