Great then they have updated the website.

reading between the lines - ppa membership renewals must be down (a lot)

You couldn't resist a dig, could you?

 

I would love your take on this: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/179234-csa-fining-members-for-riding-choc-mtb/?hl=choc

should've happened ASAP after the Trust had to go cap in hand to CSA to sanction the 'Tour' to allow the Cav to race. just looking at the bigger picture

I don't understand the above.

[Arrie]

has anyone received an email yet to say they are successful with a free entry?

I have not, but I have paid (the 50% discount price for the non-main members).  The one thing is that you wont show up on Racetec till the race has happened (as you entered in manually)

So, no clarity.

 

Back to my question, at the risk of derailing this thread: you make a fine habit of bashing PPA/CTCT/The Trust whenever possible, not just on this thread. That is fine, we can all have our dislikes (it would be nice if you backed negative posts up with facts, not hearsay/rumours, though). 

 

So, let me ask again - what are your thoughts on CSA fining/suspending members for attending unsanctioned events? In particular events where they are helping raise money for needy causes.

How did you know that you had to pay the 50% only. I understand that it won't show on racetec but how do I know if I was successful or not?

has anyone received an email yet to say they are successful with a free entry?

Yes - I filled out the form and Shana replied to say received so I am assuming that as a main member my free entry was successful ????

How did I miss that mail 

 

Replied with the form just now, hope I'm still on time

[Pure Savage]

My dad being from last century just went to the ppa to fill in the forms and enter. All in for the Sportif! Think will be a vibe from the back

Pretty sure you will be - people normally take a while to get themselves into gear 

[Arrie]

I mailed them yesterday, waiting for a reply to see if I'm successful.
