Workshops - Refund Policy

Last year there had been some confusion about our refund policy for workshop fees involving visiting tutors. 
The committee has met to clarify this situation. We apologise for  any confusion in the past.
One-day workshops are $30 members and $45 non-members. 
Two-day workshops will be $120 members and $180 non-members when we have visiting interstate tutors.
Fees for international tutors are on a case by case basis.
In order to secure a place for workshops with visiting tutors 
we ask for a $30 deposit for Australian tutor and $100.00 deposit for international tutors.
​The CCS Refund Policy is now as follows:
Payments

  • A place in a workshop run by a visiting tutor will be reserved when the required deposit has been receipted by the Treasurer and the Workshop Co-ordinator has been advised of the payment.  The deposit will be considered non-refundable unless the place is filled by another participant.
  • Final payment is to be made by the due date, which is normally one month before the date of the workshop.
  • If places are available after the due date, only payments in full will be accepted.
 
Refunds

  • If full payment has been made and notification of inability to attend has been received before the due date, a refund of 75% will apply if the place is not filled.  If the place is filled, a full refund will be given.
  • If notification of inability to attend has been received after the due date and up to 48 hours prior to the workshop, a refund of 50% will apply if the place is not filled.  If the place is filled, a full refund will be given.
  • ​If notification of inability to attend has been received less than 48 hours prior to the workshop, and the place is not filled, no refund will be given.  If the place is filled, a full refund will be given.
 
In the matter of refunds the Committee may exercise its discretion as to whether or not the policy is applied in every situation.

About us

The Canberra Calligraphy Society was founded in 1986, when three friends gathered and called for people interested in calligraphy to come together. The Society was formed and since then has gone from strength to strength, maintaining a membership of roughly 60 calligraphy enthusiasts. In 2016 the Society celebrated its 30th anniversary and is looking forward to another exciting 30 years of calligraphy in Canberra. As ideas and techniques change the penmanship also evolves. Tutors for workshops are sourced from amongst our members, interstate and international calligraphers.

Workshops are held once a month at the Urambi Village Community Hall in Crozier Circuit, Driveway B, Kambah, usually  from 1 pm–4.30 pm on the 4th Sunday of every month, except December and January. Once or twice a year the Society organises weekend workshops with visiting tutors.
