Week & Weekend Schools/Colleges Courses - 2007
1. Dates offered can be held open for a maximum of 28 days. Dates & places cannot be secured until a booking form signed by the Headteacher and payment in accordance with the conditions below, have been received and acknowledged by the Centre. Existing customers will enjoy priority over new customers if competing for dates, provided deposits are paid.
2. Fees charged will be those applicable on the date of commencement of the course. Customers who pay in full in the previous fee year, will have the guaranteed benefit of prices ruling at the time of payment.
3. A deposit (currently £80 per head), is required on booking, £50 is non returnable but £30 will be refunded in respect of number reductions notified to Bookings staff more than 6 months in advance of start. Payment of balance of fees is required 10 weeks before commencement. Alternatively, for courses held during the Autumn term, schools may prefer to pay a non returnable deposit of £50 per head on booking, with full balance of course fees being paid by the end of September (or before course commencement if earlier). For 6th form colleges this arrangement can apply for Winter as well as Autumn term provided balance is paid by end of October (or before commencement if earlier). For bookings made more than 12 months ahead by existing customers, a deposit of £50 per head (non returnable) is acceptable provided payment of the £30 per head balance of deposit is made 12 months before course commencement.
4. Group sizes booked must be exact multiples of:
i 6 (Watersports only courses)
ii 8 (Mixed Water & Landsports courses)
iii 10 (Landsports and Field Studies courses)
5. Refunds (less non returnable deposit) will only be made for numbers reductions notified 6 months ahead. Non attendance for medical or other reasons will not qualify for a refund, insurance is available.
6. Changes in numbers must be notified in writing immediately to Bookings staff. Fees will be charged on the basis of numbers acknowledged, in writing, by them.
7. Liability for loss, damage or injury is only accepted by HCC if resulting from negligence by the County Council, its servants or agents. We recommend that you take out insurance to cover risks of accident, illness, loss of personal belongings or cancellation. HCC Education Department offers this for its own schools. Accident and cancellation insurance is also available from the Centre for named persons, please ask for details.
8. Discipline & conduct of school or under 18’s groups will be the responsibility of the person in charge of the group. The accompanying staff are asked to assist Centre Staff with the evening programme and will be responsible for pastoral care. The Centre reserves the right to request payment for wilful damage to property or equipment, or for any disturbance caused by members of the group.
Any special dietary needs and medical conditions should be communicated to the Centre Bookings staff in writing, at least four weeks in advance.
