Cancellation, Scratching and Refund
Balmoral CC seeks to make entry to its events/activities easy and convenient for riders.
At various times, we may need to cancel or postpone all or part of the activities planned, (e.g. as result of rain).
The following clarifies how we manage these situations:
- Riders can self-scratch with full refund until the event entry closes.
We close rider registration as late as is practical.
Once scratched, riders can not re-enter the same event without seeking permission from the club, as refunds incur fees for Balmoral CC. - In the event of an activity being postponed, Balmoral CC will carry forward each rider’s registration to the new date.
Entries will be re-opened and riders may choose to self-scratch with refund or participate on the new date. - In the event of the activity being cancelled, Balmoral CC will initiate a full refund to all registered riders.
- If Balmoral CC conducts the activity, we will generally not refund a rider who does not participate for a reason outside of our control.
