No shocking news on the Sydney scene over night, so we will have to await the Sitrep from Tricky a little later. :-k

I'll keep adding to the 'report' :evil3:

as more pics :happy3:

come in over coming days, but the three below came from Bob 'Tafmo' King's mobile phone, which he sent me this
morning, however we suspect that they got reduced in quality to facilitate transmission via mobile, 'cos they really don't look like 24/48 megapixel pics his Huawei mobile
phone :mobile:

is capable of, and he'll resent them via e-mail when he returns to Adelaide tomorrow... :yea:

Meanwhile, here's our obligatory annual group pic outside the 'Harbour View' Hotel for 2019...

As always, it's a pleasure to 'host' these Annual RAN Skilled Hands Sydney Rocks Xmas Pub Crawl Smokeys, but I want to especially welcome this year, three 'newbies' who've never been before,
Wal and Sue Midgley, from Port Stephens, (?) and Ray Finlay, from Brisbane...

:prayer:

It humbles me to acknowledge :notworthy:

that something that Ned and SeeJay and I kicked off 17 years ago, not only still attracts around a score, or more of ex-Nirimba types each year, including
wives various, but also appreciating that the likes of SeeJay and Jan, (from Cairns,) Tafmo (and usually with Rhonda, from Adelaide,) Doug and Brenda Green (from Brisbane,) and in previous years,
the likes of Viv Mcleod, from Perth, Mike 'Pony' Moore, from Melbourne, etc., willingly travel so far to be part of this annual event... :yess:

Well you all seemed to have had a great run kiddo's. Ellen and I regret that we couldn't be with you this year, we are sitting in a hotel in San Fransisco at the moment. Hopefully next year.

We missed you guys. How many bandanas are you sporting Ned, and in which pockets.....? :cat1:

Is it still Fiherman's Wharf, or is it now illegal immigrant's Wharf...? :faaaarrk:

I'm very disappointed with you old farts.....I thought you would look after me on the run seeing Rhonda wasn't there to pull me into line.....but as the last man standing at the Orient, at a reasonably early hour, I came to the conclusion that you had failed miserably, and were indeed old farts...... :omg:

But it was a great day nevertheless. Thanks Rick for organising another great run. :yess:

Nah Connie, he got out of it a few years ago.
