milky4130 Posted September 2, 2013 Share PPA has a development budget (quite a large one) from which this entry should then have come. At no point has it been disclosed that development will be subsided by the teams entering - so if a development team won the competition would they have got zero prize money? And prize money then paid out to the 1st paying team - to hide behind "development' here is possibly not the right thing to do! Considering the league according to the budget current stand at R25 033 profit not to mention the money PPA has as an association - if not fraudulent - then certainly not wise to deny your more active members who enter all the event in advance (so not that fortunate if it rain just stay in bed) of a few thousand rand?I'm not justifying it, just pointing out where it possibly could've gone wrong, if there is no other logical explanation.I agree with you whole heartedly.

andydude Posted September 2, 2013 Share The AGM is tonight, why not go along and vote for some new people on the Exco if you want change? There are 10 candidates for 6 positions, 5 current Exco members and 2 past members are standing for re-election. I am standing. Rob - I don't think all the Hubbers or PPA members on here know you, so perhaps you would like to make a speech? Merely mentioning your name here shouldn't get you votes!

Kranswurm Posted September 2, 2013 Share Rob Booth As in Booth bikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icycling Posted September 2, 2013 Share Yup thats the man as in Booth bike - he will be 1 of the guys getting my vote - PPA need new blood on the committee and as a CA who is passionate about cycling he should be able to do some good work! I also noticed he has been nominated by somebody who is not on the committee but did serve on the committee about 15 years back. I always find it more credible when non committee members nominate people for the committee be it them re-standing or new nominations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vouching for the man is good enough for me, because I know you to a degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stringbean Posted September 3, 2013 Share I'm still trying to get round that they spent almost the same for mtb projects as they did on their garden.I'm not fooled by the"we in it for the cyclist" line.Ppa is a business and there to make money.If you look at the statements and compare what they put into cycling and what their salaries and investments are it's shocking.

Not quite yet, Stringbean - PPA have set aside money for Tokai amongst others, as part of their MTB spend. THe money just hasn't been spent yet so wouldn't have shown up in their statements.
