2026 DRONE SHOW, VIVID WALK & 50% off WINGS, RIBS, DRINKS!!!

**12 Buffalo Wings and a Pint of beer for $15? Yup. Read on...** VIVID is back, and the drone show should be cool! *(Well, let's be honest, the drone show should be "fixed" as our first VIVID walk was a fizzer and some were falling into the water as the show had technical difficulties!)* But it's great to do VIVID on a Monday - one of the least crowded days of the week... and we'll finish at my local pub as Monday's offer half-priced wings, ribs, and drinks (optional, as you may want to get home). **THE HIKE.** Let's meet at Paragon Hotel down at Circular Quay. Let's chat in whatsapp on the day so you can find me from **545pm**. We'll see the lights go on at 6pm on the dot and *see Customs House, the MCA, Syd Opera House, etc... all the way to Barangaroo, King St Wharf, and the drone show starts at 730pm finishing at 740pm. It will be crowded and hard to keep the group together, so make your own way to Sporting Globe by 4Pines. I'll already be at the table.* **Sporting Globe is my local pub, so I'll grab a table... 50% off wings, ribs, selected pints, and house wine. What a deal!!! 24 wings should be like $22, so if everybody brings $11 cash, I'll order a bunch of wings / flavours at 745pm - they'll be on the table as you arrive at the pub - just make sure everybody gets their 12 - it's def enough (if you want wings, that is). Last, I have a furtherr 20% off VIP Card - get it from me before you order at the bar - that's how I got 12 wings and a Pint for $15!!!** So we get to the drone show on time, I'll move at about 3.5kms per hour - it's up to you to keep up. I'll post my location in live Google Maps, and all hikers must join our **[WHATSAPP GROUP HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/C2nbnKJ5WJo5aenEREmOFB)** (please note, I'll keep this whatsapp for the week after hike(s), so *exit it / silence it* is my advice once you complete your hike - or use it to see other hikers' cool pics). 4kms per hour is pretty slow so we can take pics, chat, laugh, and feel free to bring a roadie drrink if you fancy... Again, it's up to you to keep the pace and not get lost. ***AN AD FROM THE MARKETING DEPARTMENT.*** ***JUNE!!!
