2. Bookings, Cancellations and Refunds

Syrcas Byd Bach Booking Policy.

All Syrcas Byd Bach classes are booked in half-termly blocks. We do not allow drop-ins. Class fees are now payable online, in full and in advance of the first class. Admittance to classes will not be permitted if fees have not been paid. If you need to discuss a payment plan to help make payment of fees more manageable, please contact the admin team admin@smallworld.org.uk.

Syrcas Byd Bach Cancellation Policy.

All decisions regarding the running or cancellation of any classes or courses are at the absolute discretion of the Small World Theatre Ltd, whose decision shall be final.

All Syrcas Byd Bach class or workshop fees are non-refundable unless the class is cancelled by Small World Theatre. If classes are cancelled, we aim to notify Syrcas Byd Bach students at the earliest possible opportunity and will refund you in full. If you are unable to attend due to an injury incurred during a Syrcas Byd Bach class, it is at our discretion that a postponement or refund will be offered where possible. To meet the criteria of a medical cancellation, proof in the form of a doctor’s note (confirming that the student is not permitted to participate) must be provided.

——

Please note our booking and cancellation policies are in place to cover staff wages, building and cleaning overheads, apparatus maintenance and administration costs. As a small organisation we can be heavily impacted by non-payment of fees or last-minute cancellations. We thank you for your support and understanding.

3. Guidance for Respiratory Infections, including Covid 19

To provide a safe environment to all, Syrcas Byd Bach will continue to follow the Welsh Government guidance for people with symptoms of a respiratory infection, including Covid 19. We recommend the trainer to refuse access to students who present any symptoms of a respiratory infection as listed in the guidance.

4. Disclaimer

Small World Theatre Ltd. makes every effort to ensure that Syrcas Byd Bach instruction, equipment and training is as safe as possible. Circus is a highly physical activity and participation in such activities comes with potential risks which cannot entirely be eliminated without jeopardising the essential qualities of the activity.

By registering to participate in any Syrcas Byd Bach classes, courses or workshops, participants agree to conduct themselves in a safe manner and confirm that they are responsible for their own physical health and ability and partake in the activity at their own risk.
