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

I'll keep adding to the 'report' as more pics 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 is capable of, and he'll resent them via e-mail when he returns to Adelaide tomorrow... Meanwhile, here's our obligatory annual group pic outside the 'Harbour View' Hotel for 2019...L to R: Dave 'Rabbit' Warren, Mark 'Mobes' Mobley, Rick 'Tricky' Pengilly, Polly Shepherd, Ray Finlay, Doug 'Gangas' Green, Sue Midgley, Wal 'Midge' Midgley, Steve 'Shep' Shepherd, Bob 'Tafmo' King, Brenda Green, Brian 'Stroppy' McKenzie, Chris 'SeeJay' O'Keefe, Jan O'Keefe, Verna 'Toots' McKenzie, Col 'Pussasan' Kelson, Sandy Robertson, Dave Maxwell, Gordon 'Gordo' Robertson, and last but by no means least, Brian 'Charlie' Staples... Tafmo and Charlie at Pub #3 of 14, 'The Merchantile'... Yours truly at 'The Merchantile'... More to come...

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... It humbles me to acknowledge 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...

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.

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