WAKEY WAKEY WAKEY
CALL THE HANDS CALL THE HANDS CALL THE HANDS
AAAAAARGHHH ME 'EARTIES - Only 7 more wakeys and it's on. Or is it? :roll:
The first ever RAN Skilled Hands Rozelle to The Rocks Pub Crawl - Saturday 9 August - yep that's right - NEXT WEEK.

:salute: It is time for men with 'Hearts of Oak' to rally to the cause; :withstupid: to stand and be counted. :salute:

TRANSPORT

442 Bus leaves Stand B – York Street side of Queen Victoria Building at 0811 and then about every 15 minutes after.
The destination is EAST BALMAIN FERRY WHARF and alight at Loyalty Square (opposite the Unity Hall Hotel)
The Cafe Berliner is just ahead on the left.
0900 Meet at the Cafe Berliner on Darling Street -= get something into your grog-infested guts. :spam1: :coffee2:
1000 1st :drinkers: at the Unity Hall Hotel then follow the red arrows on the map. There is usually only about 200 – 300 metres :walk: between pubs – the longest walk is about four hundred. We may have to push Pussa San’s wheelchair up Elliott Street from The Exchange to the Cat & Fiddle but other than that the terrain is OK. Ferry ride at the end with farewell drinks at Sydeny's birthplace. :occasion5:

Who' in?

we can only get 3 :3some: die-hard stalwarts willing to brave the August weather for our
Innaugural RAN Skilled Hands Balmain Xmas in... er... August... Pub Crawl Smokey... :partyman:


You all holding out for our 6th Annual RANSH Sydney Rocks Xmas Pub Crawl Smokey...? :dontknow:

Since when was I not going :?: :?: :?: :?:

Ellen and I will both be there, our accommodation is booked, the cat's accommodation is booked and we are both in training.

How about rustling up a couple of your "chickie babes" Rick.

I checked with Col Kelson and Dino, Col is tied up and I didn't get an answer from Dino.

I guess one get together is all the Sydney guys want, which is a great pity as we have so much fun. :occasion7: :drinkers: :occasion9: :partyman: :laughing8:

I'm assuming (hopefully) he's forgotten about it :dontknow: and I'm quite happy to let sleeping :grommit: lie... :zzz:
