Good skills Garry, almost tempts me to postpone our trip.  Almost ...

PM and details received, I had 'em anyway from last time I dropped off the flag to you.

I'll see if other offers or responses are more convenient.  I also need to check with the heirachy if it's okay for the VIC flag to be transported non-ST style.  Yeah, yeah I know that happens with the SA flag, but they have lower standards than us Royals here in Victoria.

In the meantime, I delagate the reponsibility to keep track of the comings and goings to you Nigel.

Hmmm ... I can see how that my comment could be regarded as insensitive, like the next one.  So I'll let you buy me a beer at the next RTE, and we'll call it even.

Would it be fair to say these RTEs` will be canceled? Don't want them to, but no dining at pubs, etc certainly dampens the enthusiasm....  :angry-old-man-smiley-emoticon

Yeah I made a post for some official word in the mod room the other day, I'm waiting on a reply, But yes I would say All RTE's are canceled until further notice.

In fact yes, I'll cancel this one

I was going to PM Marcus but he has beat me to it. I think the only way to safely travel at the moment is a solo ride but do it soon as the brakes will be applied harder soon. I hope everyone can keep their chin up and keep good spirits till this lockdown is over. The difficulty is knowing how long that will be. We will have to catch up on the other side and talk about something else.

Now that's a great idea. Perhaps call it the Alternative RTE. Crazy, but may work................

Yeah guys... You're all adults and can make your own decisions, but in term of OZSToc. The RTE is off. What you do after that is on you. If you guys still gather. Please please be safe

If anyone does ride to Reefton you could meet at Upper Yarra dam as if it is open there is a lot of space. I will just wait it out. It is still a few weeks off. All travel may be banned by then or not. We will wait and see.
