Shebeen Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 deadline tomorrow close of business. Wonder if they can process my CSA licence in that time?
Shebeen Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 but maybe there is someone who fits the entry criteria that will be attending this on the side? http://www.brompton.com/Events/Posts/2015/Event-BWC-USA http://cdn-web.brompton.com/~/media/Images/Events/BWC-2015-assets/BWCUSA.jpg?h=270&la=en&w=360
SwissVan Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 LOL... you think they might turn a blind eye or maak n plan wrt this "Current membership and up to date licence with Cycling SA"
Skinnyone Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 How much are CSA paying for the trip...?and my visa etc...and its cutting it a bit fine to get visa's etc sorted
Skinnyone Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Oh just read the article...UNPAID Voluntary position....this is my gripe, you put your hand up and say yes, ok so the trip is all paid for (one assumes) does that include a per diem (spending moola)? and what of my time off my real job? I would have to take unpaid leave to go for the "experience"...I have had enough experience running round after pro's for free thank you...Time to get paid.
Prince Albert Cycles Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Would be interesting to see how many SACF officials are attending Worlds .
Edgar Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Excuse the ignorance: But WTF does soigneur and a mechanic need intl team management experience for? Maybe I'm too much of a cycnic, but this looks like it was written with a specific agenda.

Skinnyone Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Its a double edged sword...you need experience to get the "job" and you need the "job" to get experience... As I said before, not getting paid - not going.
