Im not going to start this New Years Eve thread with the usual first post introduction this year. (Hopefully I can reinstate it for Chasing Midnight 2021!) Thanks to the devastation wrought across the world by Covid 19 goodness knows what we are going to find in the annual Follow The Fireworks chase.... Due to the unusual circumstances Im starting this a few days earlier than normal to give me time to hunt down info about whats likely to be happening in the major cities we chase every year.
As far as I can tell the current situation in some of the cities is:
1100 Auckland - going ahead as normal
1300 Sydney - going ahead but ticketed viewing only, no general admittance to the public, with many viewpoints closed or restricted.
0000 London & Edinburgh - cancelled completely, no doubt some sort of virtual event will take place.
So despite the horrendous circumstances of 2020 - Same procedure as last year??
If you are new to this and want to join in the fun you need acces to 13E & 19E - and if possible 22W for the Reuters newsfeed.
EDIT - As usual I shall close this now & reopen it for discussions just after Christmas day
