Question 6

I'll be travelling a distance to the workshop.  Is there accommodation nearby?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There are a few hotels/b&bs nearby. I'll include a list within the course information that you'll receive after booking.

PLEASE NOTE:  There may be occasion where I need to cancel or move a workshop due to unforseen cirmumstances (such as illness or insufficient numbers to run). As such, I would recommend booking accommodation that offers cancellation refunds, or waiting til nearer the workshop date before booking your accommodation. 
In the event of cancellation, I will do my best to let you know with a minimum of 2 weeks notice.

Question 7

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

A minimum of 2 week's notice (prior to course start date) must be given to enable a refund on your course booking.  Cancellation within less than 2 weeks prior to the course date will not be refunded.  However, in the event I am able to fill your place, a refund will be made.

Should I need to cancel the course myself (due to unforseen circumstances or not having the required number to run), I will aim to give as much notice as possible.  You will be offered an alternative course date or refund.
