You may pay me in India on my return.
Inform me your requirement by comments or email.

Thanks from Japan

During the registration of the PBP participants an appeal had been made for a voluntary purchase of a Bandana the proceeds of which were to be used for relief towards the  recent earthquakes
This got an over whelming response.
A letter from the Organizers is quoted below

Dear randonner,

 I am pleased to let you know that we have received so many orders, exceeding our original expectation, for the bandanna in support of Japan earthquake/tsunami relief.  We have just received 4 large boxes full of bandannas and leaving for France with them soon.  When handing each bandanna to the suporters, we would like to include a little note with the bandanna with the message:
"All proceeds from sales of this bandanna will be donated for Japan Relief effort."
May I ask you to translate this sentense to your language?   Thank you.

Best Regards,
Tak Kawano



I have taken the liberty to translate
as इस बान्दाना की बिक्री से सभी आय जापान राहत प्रयास के लिए दान किया जाएगा.


Whatever the calamity A Randonneur will always be there ready to help.

RandonneursIndia Procedures for Queries/Disputes.

Dear All,
Randonneurs India is growing and becoming more adept as time passes. Till now, we required help from ACP, Paris, to guide us on many things, though under the contract, such rights were always with me as the ACP representative.
Henceforth please note
1. That all official communications arising from India or relating to brevets in India, in future, should be addressed to the ACP representative in India, Satish Patki email : dongarmaltroll@gmail.com  

The ACP representative Satish Patki is the only correspondent of the Audax Club Parisien (ACP) for India.

Any direct correspondence from a person or an association of India will be returned to the latter unanswered by the ACP.

2. If there is a request that a particular communication be sent to ACP in Paris, this request may be made to the ACP representative in India who will decide upon the same.

3. Disputes on any BRM will be referred to the organiser of the BRM. The appeal against the decision of the organisers of the BRM shall lie to the  representative of ACP in India. Such a decision on any dispute will be final.

Please note this and act accordingly. Let us try and get our procedures sorted out so that we can concentrate on pushing the pedals!
