If for any reason a seminar is canceled we will phone or e-mail you 48 hours prior to the start of the seminar. If a
seminar is canceled at the last minute due to bad weather (this is very rare) we will reschedule the seminar. However,
if a seminar is held and you decide not to attend because you believe the weather is bad then it will be treated as a
no-show.
It is highly recommended that you register early, your credit card will not be charged until ten days in advance
of the course. We must have a minimum students registered in order to form a course. If you are traveling from out
of town to attend, please do not make travel arrangements until two weeks in advance of the seminar or course.
