Gin Palooza is returning to Sydney from Friday 4 September (Postponed)

Sorry to announce that the September Sydney Gin Palooza has been Postponed. NSW Health regulations regarding Covid-19 now instructs the organisers that the Sydney Gin Palooza 4 & 5 September cannot proceed with more than 150 people present. The team had created a Covid Safety Plan, and an Alcohol Management Plan and were assured by the venue CEO that the event could proceed despite pubs and clubs being restricted to 150 people.
