.......................................... D’ya hear there, d’ya hear there… Attention all intending attendees of... The 2020 (19th) Annual RAN Skilled Hands Sydney Rocks Xmas Pub Crawl Smokey..................................................................................... (...including those of you as yet undecided, sitting on the fence...!) After careful consideration, along with a degree of anguished deliberation, (not to mention the continued border restrictions imposed by certain State Governments, designed to keep Mexicans in Mexico,) The ‘A’ Team have arrived at the inescapable conclusion, that to proceed with our iconic annual event would put at unnecessary risk, those of our number considered to be in a high-risk cohort, who were planning to attend… It is therefore with heavy heart that we have decided that The 2020 (19th) Annual RAN Skilled Hands Sydney Rocks Xmas Pub Crawl Smokey must be deferred for this year, thus avoiding the very real possibility that any of our Senior Citizens could be compromised, which, in turn, would prevent them from attending The 2021 (20th er, 19th ) Annual RAN Skilled Hands Sydney Rocks Xmas Pub Crawl Smokey, to be held over the weekend of Friday 5th to Sunday 7th of November 2021… (This year's event is the first we've been forced to cancel since we launched in Nov. 2003...) .........................The 2019 Team... Why not join us next year for .......................... Meanwhile, if this unfortunate change of plans has meant that anybody has made prior arrangements which can’t readily be cancelled, of if you're simply a 'local' who'd like to catch up, I’m happy to travel down from the NSW Central Coast to join you for a laid-back, leisurely lunch, on Saturday 7th November, at a Rocks venue of your choice, just let me know… Any takers...?

Not unexpected but a decision based on the common good. I guess you could offer a timing of the run and it could be conducted from the safety of individual residences with reporting on this site throughout the day.....

Removes trip hazards, COVID19 and enables a more leisurely "sup" at pubs (walking time removed). The ability to maintain contact on the interweb retains part of the bond rekindled each year.

Anybody familiar with 'Zoom'..? ...Or we could have opted for Bruce D's clever 'Socially Distanced' version... Bruce D wrote: New rules for Pub Crawls, * select twenty pubs, allot one MOBI per pub, * one drink (two if you are quick), * allow 15 minutes at the venue then move onto the next pub, * if you spot another member of the pub crawl between pubs, cross to the other side of street, * no talking to other member excepts by phone, * all meals will be taken in separate pubs at the same time. * to prevent arguments, wives, girlfriends, mistress and better (or worse) halves are allotted separate pubs (or they can be sent out shopping). * further rules to be decided.

Dave Warren has responded on Facebook... David Warren Hi Rick, if there is enough 'local' interest I'm up for a 'quiet' lunch / drink sometime over that weekend. After all we're not dead yet!I'm happy to train it down to Sydney to join Dave (and any other takers,) at the Rocks and as it's just a laid-back leisurely lunch and a few convivials and considering the savings, (no accommodation, no multi-pub drinking, no final-pub swilling,) I'm thinking we might even opt for one of the more salubrious pub restaurants for the occasion, maybe upstairs at the Palisade, or the Harbour View, or the roof-top beer garden of the Glendale...!
