COVID-19 / Coronavirus
With regards to the situation presented to us by the COVID-19 / Coronavirus.
All 2020 events have moved to 2021 dates.
Your Entry
All entries already registered and paid up to May 7th 2020, you will automatically move forward to the 2021 date for the event, if the 2021 date is not suitable we will move your entry over to the 2022 date for you. This can only be done in the month leading up to the event so please do not send us emails requesting this now as we will not be able to process them. We are hopeful that we will not have to add any events later in the year to the list. If you have already entered and paid your entry fee you do not need to do anything further. There will be no name changes or additional transfers for any of these places, they are yours for either 2020 or 2021.
Refunds - We wanted to inform you ourselves!
As many of you are aware there have been a few event companies go into liquidation over the past few weeks, leaving many people out of pocket with no option of a future event or anything. We fear many more companies will be joining them, we have lost a t-shirt supplier and at this moment we are uncertain as to where we will be able to acquire other mementoes as many of those suppliers have disappeared as well.
We know at the beginning of this current situation we had mentioned that we would offer a 60% refund to those who genuinely could not make an adjusted date for an event, sadly, after looking into the situation we are now presented with, financially we just can not offer to do this without ending the rest of the events and the business.
We know this is possibly not the news any of us want to hear at the moment, but we feel this is the best way to keep the events going for us all.
