Cancellations, changes and refunds
If you are unable to attend an event after making a booking you may use the value of the booking to transfer to any other event provided at least 7 days notice is given. If bookings are cancelled or changed within 7 days, the following applies:
Notice given at least 3 days (i.e. over 72 hours notice prior to event) - 50% of the fee paid can be used as credit for a future event
Notice given less than 3 days (i.e. within 72 hours of the event) - no refund can be promised.
Having said that, we will endeavour to replace you and if we are able to find a full paying replacement, then no amount of value will be deducted when transferring to a future event.
