Ryinc Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Does anybody know what weekend in 2016 this is on?
Irshaadmayet Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 No idea , But sooo keen. Usually around the second or third week of January ? But lets hope the mpumalanga tour doesn't conflict
Frosty Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Gauteng has split into 5 regions, namely Northern, Central, East, West and Southern. Not sure if they'll have regional champs or full on GP champs. If I hear anything from Gauteng East I'll share the info.
Baaisikilist Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 It's pathetic that CSA/the powers that be haven't concluded a date for this yet...Need to plan racing calendars and training etc...
Underachiever Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 According to Central Gauteng it will be the weekend of the 16/17 of Jan. Venue tbc
Frosty Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 According to Central Gauteng it will be the weekend of the 16/17 of Jan. Venue tbcDid they confirm if it is a provincial or regional event?  I haven't received a reply from a few requests to our newly formed Gauteng East committee. Instead of sending it on behalf of the club, as we're not "officially" registered with them, I will send communication in my personal capacity and see if I get any response. And they wonder why the club hasn't registered... what benefit do we get?

Was postponed from October to November. Let's see what happens.
Bianchi Baby Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 If it helps at all ?!?!  Mpumalanga champs is weekend of 16/17 Jan  Maybe it's the same weekend??
David Marshall Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I really despair at the powers that be. Â How difficult is it to organise and advertise an annual event? Â No wonder that they end up with such small fields. Â Even for nationals the dates and venue were only advertised last week. Â I for one will not attend provincials to be "bulked up" with multiple start groups. Â Rather enjoy the Dischem or Mpumalanga tour.
Spinnekop Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Relax boys......It is 2 months away! It is almost ALWAYS on the 15/16/17th of January. Al provinces try to be on the same weekend date. Makes is better for lining up with SA champs.  They rotate. One year Jhb, next Pta, Jhb, Pta.This year will be Pta. GNC awards are on Friday. I'll try and find out from the people there. They are usually very helpful.

Danger Dassie Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 It's like the Gauteng XCO series, it's a joke. All politics. We had a really good two recent seasons with a healthy series and now it's a barely able event. KZN, Eastern Cape and Western Cape are really good examples of how to do it. Maybe the Spur and Eliminator school series should take over.
