As such it is at best difficult to find replacement participants at short notice. An Event/Workshop Cancellation policy exists to ensure that workshops/event can still go ahead for the benefit of other participants but also not run at a loss if participants pull out after the event is scheduled and confirmed. With regard to cancellations due to Covid, where possible as much funds as possible with be refunded but a full refund is unlikely and cannot be guaranteed. Samantha Gillard assumes no responsibility for the loss of money due to cancellations.

Substitution:

 

If, after booking an event you are unable to attend, you are welcome to nominate someone else to attend in your place so long as they meet the criteria of the workshop/Event. Please advise substitutions in writing so a correct name tag will be available on registration.
