Tumbleweed Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 this is from a sapa report i came across: An independent economic impact study carried out on the Amashova in 2005 by Singh & Associates, revealed that the annual road cycling race generated a direct economic boost of more than R12 million.This figure included spending on accommodation (R2.7 million), food (R1.9 million), transport (R4.3 million), entertainment (R0.7 million) and shopping (R0.6 million), with the remainder made up in peripheral categories including cycle equipment.
Evan Andreou Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Sounds about right. What do the rest of you spend though?
Tumbleweed Posted October 4, 2007 Author Posted October 4, 2007 wolfie, only R0.7 million on the entertainment? woulda expected more from you holy roller2007-10-04 22:56:03
Wannabe Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 That stats definately does not take my spending into consideration. I enter the race, go by train, do the race, drink ONE Beer at the finish, swim in the sea, eat a steak at the Spur at the Casino, get back on the train and go home. Alas, the last of the big spenders!!
Tumbleweed Posted October 5, 2007 Author Posted October 5, 2007 how much is that train trip these days?
Evan Andreou Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 So Wannabe, you 'the other feller', not Rockafeller?
Wannabe Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 If I my altzheimers does not let me down, think it was R960.00 return, excluding meals, but INCLUDING BEDDING!!!
scotty Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Cost for Amashova train is R750 this year. I believe its the last time such trains will be running as spoornet has a problem with sleep over trains. If this is true the better start making alternate plans for Argus.
Wannabe Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Scotty, thats bad news, was planning to do the train thing again next year for the Argus.
hagar Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Shova yea my first one this year !!!! will cost a few bucks as i am flying up and will take Sharkie with to ride on his dad's bike would like to know how much it is going to cost me too
Wannabe Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Wolverine, even then I'm splashing out!!!!(can't even take the better half with)
