Because of the snow storm New England is getting the AKC trial for Feb.9th has been cancelled but is still on for Sunday.I wonder if they get a refund or what the rules are for it.What a bummer.

Wow. I guess better safe than sorry! Wonder if they'll even be able to have it on Sunday?

I know for USDAA that weather is not a reason for refund, but a "nice" club usually offers them, or at least partial refunds. I guess it depends on what expenses the club can get back (facility rental, etc...)

Probably a refund. My club had to cancel our entire AKC trial because of Superstorm Sandy. We refunded the premiums.

Read the premium. : )

There is no requirement to refund entry fees for "acts of god" (whichever deity you choose). It's up to the club. Some will refund the whole thing, others will refund the balance of entries to sunk costs, some will keep your money and say "bummer".

The rules are spelled out in the premium, or at least they should be. :)

Stay safe!

Probably no refund. We had a trial location flooded out in summer 2011 and there was no refund. But..like Rachel said, it was spelled out in the premium.
