Signup & Cancellation Policy for Workshops

 

 

           

SPEAKERS AND WORKSHOPS—REGISTRATION

Signup on a sheet merely indicates the intent to register, actual registration requires payment.  For multiple-day workshops, registrations made more than nine months in advance may be held by a 30 percent deposit.  However, full payment must be made six months before the event in order to secure a reservation.

 

WORKSHOPS FEES

Fees for each workshop are kept as low as possible to ensure maximum benefit for members.  One-day workshops are based on a minimum of 10 people, multiple-day workshops are based on minimums of 10 to 16 participants at the discretion of the Program Committee.

 

CANCELLATIONS

  1. PPQG reserves the right to cancel a workshop if enrollment is low, and would result in a loss to the Guild.
  2. Speakers and instructors must be given at least 30 days notice in the event PPQG must cancel an event, and some instructors require contracts with longer cancellation periods.  Therefore, it is important that we fill workshops, especially multi-day workshops, well in advance.
  3. Workshop registrants who cancel 45 days or more before the workshop will receive full refunds, (unless an earlier cancellation date is advertised in the workshop information.  Such earlier dates may occur when instructors require contracts with longer than usual cancellation periods.)
  4. Registrants who cancel less than 45 days before the workshop will forfeit 25% of their fee.
  5. Registrants who cancel less than 30 days before the workshop will forfeit 100% of their fee if their cancellation brings the enrollment below the break-even point for that workshop. To receive a 75% refund a canceling member needs to find a substitute, and should contact a member of the program committee to see if there is a waiting list for that workshop.
  6. In order to ensure full participation in workshops, and make our instructors available to as many members as possible, a member may place her name and phone number on a waiting list at no cost.  Members registering on a waiting list must realize that most cancellations come at the last minute when a registered person is unable to attend.
