Rego opens @ 5.45pm

A PUBGAINE! is a portmanteau of ‘Pub-crawl’ and ‘Rogaine’. In the former, good times are had. In the latter teams of 3-5 race around to collect Control Points with the aid of map and compass. Combining these activities makes for a ludicrously good time!

The rules are simple. You must be 18+ and carry ID to participate. Each team is given a map with a list of pubs marked on it. Each pub is worth a designated number of point based roughly on the generosity of Jenny. You are allowed to move by foot, or on public transport, but no cars, taxi’s or bicycles. Team must remain together at all times, splitting up to get to more pubs is a no-no.

Teams are 3-5 people.

No Team. No worries. Make sure to turn up at 5.45pm and we’ll get you sorted 🙂
Make sure your phone is charged for the event, photographic evidence will be needed to earn the points.

Bonus points will be awarded for:

60 points – for each team with a new member who joined the club less than 6 months ago. 60 points for the first member and 30 points for each additional person.
50 points – for each team member wearing thermal leggings and shorts on top.
20 points – for each team member wearing a head torch.
10 points – for each team member who can present a space blanket at the finish line (used or unused).
Double points for each pub where every team member drinks a beverage (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). Receipts must be provided digitally.

New for this year: MISSIONS: points per mission TBC

The golfing trio – visiting all three Holey Moleys
The history quartet – correctly answering the ‘year established questions’
The animal quintet – bat, dog, horse, unicorn, dove
The brewery sextet – sample a drink at all the breweries

You are responsible for your actions at all times. UNSWOC is not liable for any damage or injury sustained during the event. While having a good time is encouraged, getting overly sloshed and becoming a nuisance is not.
