PPA Membership

[rock]

haven't been a member for years, seeing that they run July to July should I join again?

 

was thinking about maybe doing some road fun rides and getting in on the argus bandwagon again?

[GoLefty!!]

well they have pulled finger and funded a lot of trail building in the Western Cape....

I'm not into the fun ride thing anymore - too many lunatics on bikes who train in a gym and therefore have zero bike handling skill- but supporting trail building is a worthwhile effort.

You're going to cause a Friday fight of some note, but yes, I think you should. Just to state my own position, I'm a PPA member (smiling) and I have a CSA license (grudgingly).

eish

Paid my fees and really looking forward to the road and mtb races on their calendar from August

Do it, because it's "the right thing to do"

PPA member = voluntary

CSA member = grudgingly.

i don't need to join CSA to do a funride right?

[Shabou08]

I personally feel that a ppa membership is well worth the bucks.

hope not, provided PPA win their court case. <Crossfingers, touch wood>

Not normally in the Cape at least.

Joining the PPA gets you a permanent ride number and discounts on entry fees.

Just do not think about trying out the track discipline, you'll love it and will not be able to do anything fun with a PPA membership, oh wait PPA does not focus on track as a discipline anyway .... nuff said.

keep it on topic. Track is CSA. Theres another fred for vat

Well worth joining if you intend fun riding.

Membership brings many benefits including email notification of events, discounted entries to many events, a seeded funride number ...

 

I do miss the easy entry booklets though.

maybe a bit of the topic, but maybe someone can help me with this problem.

i was a ppa member while i was still in school. completed 2 argus's then.

then sometime later i joined again, but by that time the new SA id nrs have been issued.

so my old ppa number is linked to one id number, and the new ppa number is linked to my current id number.

 

i now want to rejoin again, but want to use the first ppa number cause on that number i have on record that i completed the argus twice while i was in school.

 

so i email ppa about this, asking them to change my id number, so that i can reuse the that ppa number.

 

but i have had no reply's yet.

 

anyone know of someone at the ppa that i can contact directly?

 

Thanks
