A group dinner will be scheduled on the second evening (optional – based on requests).

Payment and terms and conditions:
Cancellation Policy:
Workshop places are non-refundable but they are transferrable (i.e. if you can find someone else to take the spot it is simply a name change then with costs agreed between the two transferring parties).
In the event that due to extreme weather or some other circumstance out of my control, Rory Farrell Photography reserves the right to cancel the workshop at any time. This may be due to a minimum number of participants not being met, or some other reason. If this happens, then all deposits/monies will be refunded to the participants, though no compensation would be available for unrelated costs to the workshop (such as flights or hotels).
By purchasing a place on the workshop, you are acknowledging that you accept these conditions.
