We have, in past, turned people away –
either because the class was full or because it was cancelled
due to low registration. It is true, we sometimes cancel
excellent courses, taught by great instructors, but only
because too many people wait until the last minute to
register.
To cover the cost of running our classes,
we require a minimum number of students before a course
can run. In fairness to all, classes with less than the
minimum are cancelled a week prior to the first class.
How can you help? If planning to take a
particular class, please register sooner rather than later
and avoid being disappointed.
• Payment required at time of registration
• Separate cheque is required for each class because
of possible cancellation
• All cheques are payable to: Estevan Arts Council
• Low registration is just cause for the cancellation
of a program – fee will be refunded
• ALL classes in craft room of the Leisure Centre
unless otherwise stated.
