Guidelines for Workshops
Workshops are special opportunities for a small group of people (usually only 20) to have instruction from a guest teacher. Please follow these guidelines when signing up for a workshop.
• Sign-up will begin at 12:30 at the guild meeting in the month announced for the workshop sign-up.
• Only people who have signed-up AND paid can attend the workshop. You are not considered “signed-up” until you pay your money!
• If you are unable to attend the guild meeting at which the sign-up occurs, have a friend sign you up and pay your money. We will NOT be taking phone sign-ups before this time... Please don’t ask us to break this rule.
• Once the workshop is filled, a waiting list will be formed. If someone drops out of the class, the next person on the waiting list will be called. Please do not by-pass the waiting list by selling your spot to a friend. It is not fair to those who have been put on the waiting list. .
• Once you are on the list, and find you will be unable to attend, you will not get a refund unless someone is found to take your place. Please contact Linda Quinn as soon as you know you can't come and the next person on the waiting list will be called. If there is no one on the waiting list, you may then find your own replacement.
