Re: [RC] [RC] ? Refunds - RDCARRIEIn a message dated 8/23/2004 11:12:26 AM Eastern Daylight Time, Ridecamp Guest <guest-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> writes: RM's should charge an administrative fee on all entries. Partially refund people who call, and keep no show money. I would have to disagree with this statement...and my reason for disagreeing is not as a rider who would like their entry fee back, but rather as someone who is entering the field of ride management next spring. ?I think having this policy would discourage people from pre-entering. ?And if someone has pre-entered and then is courteous enough to call, they should by all means get all of their entry fee back!! ?As for no-shows, there are a number of reasons people can't make it to a ride, and I can't see punishing someone for their truck breaking down enroute, horse getting an abcess 2 days before the ride, or something like that. ?Heck, give 'em their money back. ?My thought is, you'll gain more in ill will by keeping it than the money is worth. ?And we need to remember - we all do this for fun and it's just a sport. ?No need to make it so strict and penalty-ridden.
