ivr32 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Goody bags and medals are a waste (useless stuff and invariably the medals get thrown away). Rather give it to a worthy cause, and i dont mean the organisers pockets!! Exactly my point. But I will keep my medals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr SingleTrack Posted September 2, 2013 Share With regards to the goodie bags. I might have it wrong but I think all the stuff is "sponsored". So our entry fees does not go towards the stuff that they put in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TALUS Posted September 2, 2013 Share I was not trying to be nasty, I really think donating that goodie bag for homeless people will be a good deedMaybe collect at the start and hand out later? You may be onto something. bmw1za 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TALUS Posted September 2, 2013 Share Yip or the race organizers must just keep the goody bag to hand out.I wonder whether they will still get goodies donated though - the guys have a target market in mind (and the homeless is not it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabs Posted September 2, 2013 Share With regards to the goodie bags. I might have it wrong but I think all the stuff is "sponsored". So our entry fees does not go towards the stuff that they put in it. Hello Mr ....The point is not whether we pay for it or not. But what good is it giving to a cyclist who cannot use it for the next race ?Lets rather donate that value to charity then. The organisers should be able to filter out the products to be used. Not merely put them inside because they are free. Just compare what we got here , to the Argus, or the 94,7 goodie bag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivr32 Posted September 2, 2013 Share I support that idea, maybe keep stuff on the your back and throw it to all the fans in the rural community... the ones screeming ..CHORKLITT-CHORKLITT ! Ha ha, so basically we ride around with soap and shampoo on our back and whenever these guys ask for sweets we can just through cleaning stuff at them?

What I was trying to say is that the stuff is sponsored by companies that hope to sell more of their products in future (hence the give-away of samples). My guess is that the said companies will stop their sample give-aways if the organisers opts to give it to the homeless because the homeless is not their target market. The samples is part of said companies' sales strategy and not an attempt at charity. Yes, it sometimes is a sad sad world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques999 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Ha ha, it looks more like a bag for a homeless guy.Soap and cream, maybe next year they should use the goodie bags exactly for that purpose. Like I said before sh%tty bag not a goody bag I didn't even get one of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
