Say G'Day!! -

events is the best way to get to know and recognise fellow members. Say
hello to someone you haven't met before and make new friends.

replacement badge. Pin on and magnetic badges are available. |

| Club
Booking and Cancellation Policy |
In
brief, refunds of fees paid for various functions and outings cannot be
made for any components not recoverable from the venue operator or the
transportation company. But see the full policy below
Also, late cancellations for the monthly General Meeting Luncheon may
require payment if there is a cost to our club.
No show without notice, no refund!!
The
policy adopted by the club at the monthly meeting in
October
2008 is as follows:-
1. Notice of
Activity or Expression of Interest
1.1. The Organisers will post a Notice of Activity or an Expression of
Interest form about a proposed activity at the Club monthly meeting
three months in advance, unless it is an activity requiring a
longer-term booking.
1.2. Members will be able to put their names on this form without
payment being required at that time. The response of members on the
form will give an indication to the Organisers if there is sufficient
interest to proceed with the activity.
(Elements of items 2 and 3 which apply to a given event will be noted
on the booking sheet for that event.)
2. Bookings
and payment
2.1. For all bookings, full payment must be made in advance of the
event.
2.2. In a case of a substantial amount being involved, payment
of an initial deposit on a specified date will be required. Usually,
the date for the final payment will be published when the notice is
posted. These dates will depend on the terms and conditions of the
supplier.
2.3. For all other bookings, full payment must be made by the date
specified by the organisers for the
activity.
3.
Cancellations
3.1. If a Member cancels their booking before the final payment date,
every effort will be made to obtain a refund from the supplier, but
this may not always be possible.
3.2. After the final booking date, refunds are not guaranteed. Usually,
suppliers demand full payment if cancellations are made after the final
payment date.
This can be within 28 days of the activity or at a time specified by
the supplier as the final payment date. In these cases, Club
organisers will endeavour to persuade the supplier to waive the
charges, but this is not guaranteed and the Member may still be liable
to make the full payment.
4. Order of
preference
If the number of bookings is limited for a particular activity, Members
on the list who do not pay by the due date will be replaced by those on
the waiting list who can pay by that date.
5. Guests
Members will be given priority for all events, but non-members can
attend activities as guests of financial members subject to the
approval of the Program Managers/COAST Convenors/Management Committee,
but each Member may only have a guest at a maximum of two functions
each year.
