Viv, it's been so long between drinks, we'll be DELIGHTED to have you, now just give Smiley a hug and drag him along with you... You're already BOTH on the MAY+ List... Would love to bump you both up to the ATTENDEES List...! At this rate, with you, Shep, Stroppy, et al, we might even persuade SeeJay to come down from FNQ if Anaesthesia Puddle Duck will let him across the border..!

Glad to hear, Col, I was getting worried...! Just be aware, I'm monitoring the situation closely, and whilst, after a 2-year break, I'm really looking forward to catching up with you all again, may I suggest that those of you booking accommodation, check with the hotels/ motels, etc., as to the very latest you can cancel your bookings without penalty, then let me know, in case I have no alternative but to pull the plug on the event a second time...

Unless there is a major shift in border and quarantine policies, I will be a no-show (again).

I sorta figured that Smiley and assume same would apply to Viv who was planning on joining us from W.A. too... What I've presented below is review the Attendees List as it currently stands, including caveats which take into account prevailing border/ travel restrictions anticipated come November...

So as it currently stands, here's the latest revised List... This emoji indicates those that could be affected by LGA/ border and/ or travel restrictions... RE-CONFIRMING THIS YEAR'S DATE CHANGES: NOW FRIDAY, 12th NOVEMBER, to SUNDAY, 14th NOVEMBER. ................................................................. So to get the ball rolling, again.....................................................................CONFIRMED Attendees are: .................................................................. Rick (Hippy Chippy) Pengilly .................................................................. Wal (Midge) Midgley (T.B.C.*).................................................................. John (Chippy Ned) Kelly .................................................................. Ellen (Mrs Chippy Ned) Kelly .................................................................. Steve (Shep) Sheperd .................................................................. Polly (Mrs Shep) Sheperd .................................................................. Pete (Red) Williamson .................................................................. Helen (Mrs Red) Williamson .................................................................. Denise (Mrs Bruce) Cocks .................................................................. Dave (Bunny) Warren .................................................................. Mark (Mobes) Mobley .................................................................. Howard (Hendo) Henderson .................................................................. Col (Pussasan) Kelson .................................................................. Anticipated Attendees (yet to be confirmed...)..................................................................

Sue (Mrs Midge) Midgley (*Sadly Sue recently passed away...) I ANTICIPATE MAKING A FINAL DECISION ON WHETHER WE CANCEL, OR POSTPONE THIS YEAR'S EVENT AT THE END OF OCTOBER... Clearly, if LGA Restrictions/ Lockdowns/ Border Closures are still where they currently stand, then only a handful of Sydney-siders could attend...! Anticipating an eager/ thirsty response from a bunch of deprived Pub Crawlers, I've booked the City Extra Restaurant Circular Quay for 20+ for breakfast and I've also just booked into The Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel for 20+ for lunch... WATCH THIS SPACE...!

Have been on the waiting list for a hernia operation, and guess what? Yep, I was told today that it is 12th of November, so reluctantly I must withdraw from this years run. Next year?

So sorry to hear that, Howie, we hadn't caught up with you for a few years, I was looking forward to doing so again... Meanwhile, I've been asked to confirm our numbers for breakfast (at City Extra,) and lunch (at The Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel,) so I'll need to firm up our Attendees List from my earlier post above... This year's 18th 2021 Annual RAN SH Sydney Rocks Xmas Pub Crawl Smokey Attendees will have an additional imposition to contend with, but I'm sure it's nothing a bunch of MOBI-trained party animals can't cope with standing on their heads... Of course, the imposition I'm referring to is that before you order that eagerly anticipated drink in each pub, you'll be required to do a QR Scan/ Vaccination Certificate Check-In... Whilst I'm assuming that none of us will have baulked at a couple of jabs in the arm for a nanosecond to assure your social freedoms, I'm wondering how just many of our intending Attendees have added their virtual Vaccination Certificate to their Services NSW phone app to facilitate a smooth, single check-in exercise...? Some weeks back, in anticipation that everybody would eventually need some form of inoculation evidence as we approached easing lockdown restrictions, I invested the time to download and activate my Express Plus Medicare App, which provided me with my Digital Vaccination Certificate, which I then added to my Google G Pay Digital Wallet on my phone, where I knew I could access it quickly and easily when called upon to flash it... However, I'm happy to say that Services NSW (and Services Victoria,) have taken the process one step further by upgraded their (by now) familiar QR Code Check-In so that upon scanning a pub's QR Code now, the app will also show your Vaccination Status, making for a smooth and speedy check-in at each pub... Now I know of at least one of our Attendees has set up his Vaccination Certificate as a screen saver on his mobile, ten points for initiative, but that is still going to cost him precious drinking time as he clumsily fumbles to access multiple screens each pub he gets to... (Don't worry, I'll be working with him to help him upgrade his Services NSW app before the big event...!) As luck would have it, today I stumbled over an article in Sydney's Time Out which gives an excellent step-by-step on how to access your Express Plus Medicare App and your Digital Vaccination Certificate and add it to your Services NSW/ Services Victoria Check-In app... So if you're interested, here's how to add your new vaccine passport to your Service NSW check-in app...N.B. As the article states: "Be warned, the process is pretty laborious with multiple steps requiring you to log in to either your MyGov, Medicare, and/ or Service NSW app, so make sure you have a bit of time free before getting into the weeds of what we found to be a somewhat ponderous system." However, as it's in preparation for an historic multi-venue pub crawl, your time invested will be well rewarded...!
