grod5, I think the poll was pretty definite so that makes the 14th set in stone (i guess, unless the wind is from the east etc etc).

So is there any idea of a starting time & pub yet?

SWMBO has just told me of a friends bbq lunch on that day... typical.
The good thing is it's just at ashfield, so it may all work out.

Midday kickoff at The sackville, then wander down the hill.

Any recommendations by Balmain locals for hotel/motel type accommodation for those of us outside the metro area??


Cheers, Hoges.

Try some of the pubs listed below, I am sure they do a B&B somewhere along the run. Also if there hasn't already been a T-Shirt created for the crawl, perhaps a beer themed shirt would do the job? I am sure we all have a few of those. Most obscure brewery t-shirt wins a prize!

Just trying to establish a batting order. There are 22 pubs in the Balmain/Rozelle area. I will find out what is on tap at a few others throughout the week.
