EXAMPLE 1: If a member has paid for some event such as a tour or a theatre and then cannot come, as long as the event has not yet been paid for by the club, yes, we do refund the money to the member.

EXAMPLE 2: On rare occasions, where a scheduled event has been cancelled, all of the members who had paid are refunded, less pro-rata percentage if the vendor charged the club a non-refundable deposit.

No refund is given if your cancellation forces the entire event to drop below a required minimum number of participants. 

Members ceasing membership during the year after paying their registration fees are not normally refunded on any basis.  

Money paid out to external groups—like coach companies, motels, or tour operators—is only refunded if the provider returns the money to the club. 

Many local clubs require set notice times, such as 7 days for day trips or 28 days for extended tours, to process refund requests. 

EXAMPLE 1: The club will notify members of any booking cutoff date for payment.  Once the club has pre-paid for an event, which sometimes happens when some event has to be paid for several days prior to the event to secure a booking, and then a member can't come, or changes their mind, then a refund is not given.
