The way I remember it, the run will be on 5th October, but a number of us will be there for the week. I'll be there from the 1st - 6th.

The intent of my first post re this years run was to try and bring it forward to coincide with the IFR.
I will be in town from 2 to 13 October for the IFR, so I can't see me getting a leave pass again in November.
Cheers.

Just to refresh this topic, and to get some definite dates so people can plan, perhaps we should start an attendance list and plan.

First, the plan:

Rocks Run to happen on the 5th October, commencement point yet to be advised due to the situation with Jacksons on George. As of 2 weeks ago it was for sale.

http://www.smh.com.au/business/property ... 2pv8r.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

They've still got a website up and running, so I'm assuming they're still operating as per normal. I'll confirm in the next few days by phone to see what the go is.

Several properties around the Rocks have been sold recently including the Fortunes of War pub, and redevelopment is possible, so the best plan for the day is to take the usual route and adapt if a pub has been closed. Maybe even two drinks per stop could be achieved..... :badgrin:

Lunch should be able to be achieved as per usual, given that the weekend is a long weekend (Monday Public Holiday) and it's also NSW School Holidays.

And the finish as usual at the Keller/Orient.

Attendance:

So far we have confirmed:

Pussasan
Shep
Seejay


As for the other events during the week e.g. Tall Ships entry; Fleet Entry; Navy Open day (5th) + various other band recitals, etc., it seems so far that all concerned want to do their own thing.

Any further entrants coming? :salute1: :salute1: :salute1:

I'll be in Sydney for one night sometime around the 2nd/3rd enroute to the UK. Might catch up with a few of you at the pub one evening.

That sounds good Pete.

Chris, check the timetable of events

http://www.navy.gov.au/ifr/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

the Fleet entry is on the 5th, the tall ships entry is on the 3rd and there are other events as well.

Don't suppose it is possible to have the Run so it does not clash, perhaps?

I did Gordon. Fleet entry is on the 4th. Fleet review is on the 5th. With the Tall Ships coming in on the 3rd.

I don't know whether the Fleet Review will be a ship/vessel/boat carrying a dignitary cruising past anchored/moored ships, or all ships up-anchoring and cruising past a stationary vessel, but I'm assuming the former is the go. Therefore I'm guessing the fleet entry would be the better spectacle to see.
