Fast One prize money

[MTB Kenya]

my girlfriend waited ages for prize money from 94.7!

 

thats a reason why I don't go for Top5!

Thanks TiBones, I nearly got excited until you mentioned I have to collect my chappie from arce (sic) office.

[dfm1]

So I was one of those unlucky enough to 'win' prize money in The Fast One. How long ago was the race? Nah I can't remember' date=' either.
Anyway, if you 'win' prize money at this event, you get an envelope with a piece of paper in it, asking you to send your details to Len Aspeling, with a Telkomsa email address for his business, which appears to be STS Accounting.
You also get, for reasons entirely unclear to me, Lenny's cellphone number (you will see why in a second).
Don't go to too much trouble trying to get your 'prize money', because Len doesn't reply to the email address furnished. He doesn't answer that, not when he owes people money, you see.
So my view is that this is flippen schwak to say the least. I have had to call and email the non-responsive Lenny (who more and more, in my mind, resembles the Lenny in the great John Steinbeck novel, Of Mice and Men...you know what I mean) twice, that's 2 calls and 2 emails, neither of which has been returned. Then I contact the race office yesterday, and am promised an email byt the (surprisingly?) very helpful Jenny Green. However helpful, Jenny must have forgotten; I called the arce office again this morning and asked for Jenny to call back. Well I finally got my email, but no return call.
OH! Of course! And STILL no prize money. Surprise surprise.

Well, for someone as loaded as you the prize money shouldnt be an issue

[bored girl]

You making me scared now.....I faxed my form from the Herald yesterday.....lets see if it's more speedy bored girl2009-02-04 08:14:15

[Capri Wheeler]

are all races as bad as this?

[bored girl]

When you win a small amount they usually give it cash and that's no problem. This was the first one I had to fill in a form so lets see....

 

 

 

So I suppose smaller races are better....you get your money straight away...bored girl2009-02-04 08:17:58

Very poor form I say. The ruse of 'security reasons' for the piece of paper is obviously to hide a cashflow problem in a badly run business.

 

Haa,Haa, thats a good one - guess they scared an imposter will sneak onto the top step instead of you.!

The million dollar question is whether CSA has to fill out a similar form for its share of the bounty...

[Delgado]

Have you considered that they may have swimming pools to pay off?

Ha ha, hey dfm1 this recession thing affects everyone (especially race organisers???). And now I'm going to get all huffy and sanctimonious and claim its the principle of the thing, man. When all I want is my box of smarties, actually.

DFM1, you have completely lost the point. If Intern isnt going to get his prizes, how in hell am I going to buy a better looking helmet from him that he wins than the awfully gay looking lid that I nearly collected from him???

 

[amused]

Good luck with getting your prize money, we r still waiting aswell, We only got our 94.7 prize money 2 weeks ago, and that was after we sent stinking emails and phone calls.
