Rant: Posting of PPA seeded numbers

Hey guys

 

Is it just me or is the PPA incapable of posting seeded numbers to registered, fully paid-up members?

 

For the second year in a row, I've realised a few weeks after renewing my membership that I didn't receive a new seeded number.

 

So when I emailed them this year, I was told they no longer post seeded numbers and you have to collect it from their office.

 

Firstly, thanks for informing me of that. Unless I missed it during membership renewal, I didn't see that announcement anywhere?

 

Secondly, for R295, I'd like to the think the PPA could at least post your seeded number to you. I don't see why they have so many problems with the post when just about everything else gets sent via post without issues.

 

Getting through to Mowbray during the week isn't always feasible, so collecting it myself isn't a possibility.

 

It just feels like such an effort to get something so basic (that you paid for). As for how long it takes to get a reply via email from the PPA...

 

Rant over.

They did mention in their event news (by email) that "Please note that road funride numbers will be posted only on request."

They used to post them automatically

 

Cost-cutting, I guess.

Yep, they mentioned it in their mailers, and when I emailed them to ask them to post me my number they promptly did and I had my new number one week later.

You can also pick it up at registration of the next PPA race you do - just phone beforehand (and pitch early because there are often a long que at the PPA stand)

 

But in principle I agree with you, not too chuffed that they stopped posting the numbers

Thanks, I never saw that. I guess I'll just collect mine at the One Tonner registration tomorrow.

 

Still wish they could just post them... :)

I found collecting from the race very convenient. The only problem was to find a great looking girl to pin the number on my back! ;)

You have to let them now beforehand!
