The Haw River Ballroom is treating our SCA Ball the way it would any other dance band. They are handling sound, lighting, and tickets. Because the SCA is not in charge of the gate, this is technically a Demo, not an Event. There is no non-member surcharge. Everybody gets the member price.
VenuePilot doesn't issue refunds. Event Refunds shall be provided as follows: i. The Reservationist must receive refund requests in writing (email is acceptable) no later than five (5) business days after the event. ii. All refunds shall be paid by check from the Buckston-on-Eno checking account. iii. No refund shall be issued until the event books have been closed and all reservation checks have cleared. iv. No refund shall be issued if the event has not made a profit. This policy may be waived by unanimous vote of the Canton business meeting in cases of event cancellation or other extreme circumstances, provided that such action does not put the Canton in financial jeopardy.
