Urgent appeal for assistance!!

[Wayne Potgieter]

oi! lets keep the CSA discussion out of this here positive thread !!

Hey Slow.

 

I disagree.

 

Lets see the great and the terrible in one place.

 

I really want to know why CSA has no money. Disgusting that this woman has to privately fund herself when she has this much potential.

 

Also interesting that none of the "big companies" that make a lot of money off of hubbers all of a sudden couldn't find there wallets when it was necessary.

 

Sies julle. Sies.

Nah, it doesnt hurt,

 

But it does show us exactly what they think of us... as nothing more than wallets.

I find it really interesting that the vast majority of cyclists I know hate the CSA.

 

The CSA is around to make life better for cyclists of all levels no? Yet they are hated almost unanimously.

 

Are they blind? Stupid? Ignorant? Really don't give a bumgel about cyclists? Are that so internally focused that they don't know that they're hated?

 

Bizarre.

Eish I like you

Coming late here, but can I please see the correspondence from PPA regarding your initial request for funding and the exact response you got?

 

"She has approached both CSA and PPA for funding, but was told that even though she has the talent and qualifies for funding, they do not have the money to help her (YEAH, RIGHT!!!!)"

 

This is what I read in the opening post. I am on the PPA Executive and would like to see what went down. - when you get the answer , let us know. but open another thread we don't want to poisen this one

 

By the way, CSA has got zero money, that I can assure you of. i think i have the answer but see above , it warrants a new thread

[awesme]

Why they don't have money...

Think it's more in the they don't care, and caring or not does not impact their salaries.

As long as they act as a unified unit, no one can argue and they keep their positions and authority.

Visited Fire this morning ( oh yeah, for best prices on Race Nutrition, contact her @ Body & Bike. 32Gi selling at way below what other retailers charge. Other brands also at really good prices)

She is really upbeat about her experience and what it means for her for the future. She learned a lot and knows what/where to improve, and also how.

 

She is really thankfull for the opportunity afforded her by the Hubbers.

 

Looks like there is movement also from CSA side. Not much promised, but is better than nothing

Well done Maroesjka and Theuns on their inclusion in the team for Worlds.

[Fire]

Thanks Wannabe.

 

Just want to say thanks to the hubbers again for making it possible to go to America and getting the UCI points to qualify for the world cup.

CSA has selected a team to represent South Africa. I'm the only lady in the team and because I can't do team events with fellow saffas I had to qualify to ride the races. With South Africa getting an entry, the guys can ride the Team Pursuit and Team Sprint. The riders that qualified for individual events is myself, Nolan Hoffman and Bernard Esterhuizen.

 

I can't thank you guys enough!

I still have R3,500 left over from what you guys gave me for America and would go towards this World Cup trip.

 

I want to invite the guys that are in Cape Town on the 11th of October to come watch some track racing.

In my attempt to get the funds I will be selling jaffels and pancakes. and doing handstands and juggling with my feet. Please come support.

You would be entertained with some hot racing through the night.
