CLINIC/ SHOW/ EVENT CANCELLATION

With a busy calendar our venue holds limited dates for events to be booked. For this reason, we request that you cancel at least one month before your scheduled clinic/ show/ event. This will allow us to offer your spot to another. You may email Georgia at admin@goldencrossec.com to cancel. If you cancel after one month before your scheduled clinic/ show or event you are required to pay 50% of the final total. (For clinics you will be required to pay for the hourly arena hire charge for the hours booked).
