:happy: Glad to hear, Col, I was getting worried...! :finga:
Just be aware, I'm monitoring the Covid sign 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, :type: 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).

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. :bugger: :shit: :faaaarrk:

:bugger: 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... :kiss:

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 :evil3: from my earlier post above... :laughing3:

=; This year's 18th 2021 Annual RAN SH Sydney Rocks Xmas Pub Crawl Smokey Attendees will have an additional Covid sign imposition to contend with, but I'm sure it's nothing a bunch of :salute1: MOBI-trained
party :drink 42: animals :partyman: can't cope with standing on their heads... :yess:

Of course, the imposition I'm referring to is that before you order that eagerly anticipated :wine: drink :tchin: in each pub, :ouzo: you'll be required to do a QR Scan/ Vaccination Certificate Check-In... :mobile:

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 :3some: have added
their virtual Vaccination Certificate :evil3: to their Services NSW phone app :phone: to facilitate a smooth, single check-in exercise...? :dontknow:

Some weeks back, in anticipation that everybody would eventually need some form of inoculation evidence :evil3: 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... :happy:
However, I'm happy to say \:D/ that Services NSW (and Services Victoria,) have taken the process one step further by upgraded their (by now) familiar Covid sign 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 :evil3: as a screen saver on his mobile, ten points for initiative, but that is still going to cost him precious drinking time :snap:
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...!) :happy:

=; As luck would have it, today I stumbled over an article in Sydney's Time Out :puter: which gives an excellent step-by-step on how to access your Express Plus Medicare App and your Digital Vaccination
Certificate :evil3: and add it to your Services NSW/ Services Victoria Covid sign Check-In app... So if you're interested, :type: here's how to add your new vaccine passport to your Service NSW check-in app...


N.B. As the article states: :evil3: "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...!
