I think I already know the answer to this, but will ask anyway. Once an entry has been made to a show, is there anyway of getting a refund? Due to personal circumstances I cannot make the Bournemouth Champ Show which i entered a while back, entries close tomorrow for it i believe.

I don't believe you can. 

entries close on line tomorrow at noon

Phone them first thing tomorrow and ask. I don't know if they will do a refund but it's worth asking. I recently had a case of having entered one dog that would not be able to go to a particular show and as the entries had not closed online yet I was able to swap that dog for another (for the £5 fee) which at least meant the fee wasn't wasted. Oh just seen that the Bournemouth entry has been extended to the 29th as well.

you could try but i dont think you will get it , my pup missed out on his 1st show ( a champ show ) due to a fractured shoulder and a refund was refused, i was told it would only be refunded if there was a change of judge and that judge had already awarded my dogs a CC :(

If you say entries close tomorrow, I would phone the secretary and find out. It doesn't hurt to phone and ask nicely.
It is unlikely the payment has gone to the bank(unless done online). I would say if entries had closed (even by a few days) it would be unlikely for you to get your money back. There is a possibility you might be able to get a credit for next year??

I stupidly enterd Richmond show twice a couple of years ago, forgot I had entered online, then by post and I didn't get my money back even though they said they would look into it.  Good Luck

My friends got a refund for Windsor a few years back because they could not go, as entries haven't quite closed yet it's worth a try if you spin a good sob story as to the reason, ie not just because you're off on holiday or something. :-)

If you say entries close tomorrow, I would phone the secretary and find out.

Entries don't close until the 29th but it is Higham the OP need to speak to as they are the ones taking the entries, not the sec. :)

thanks for all replies, i do indeed have a sob story, just split with my boyfriend of 8 years :( and im currently moving my things out our house. theres no way i can afford to travel down, cant go with my normal showing buddy as its her breeder and she cant show, my boyf and i were going to make a weekend of it, but too far for me on my own, from central scotland, and im taking on extra hours at work to save for a deposit, and may end up working that weekend.

Aw, sorry to hear that. :-(

Just wondered how you got on, any success?

I phoned Higham Press this morning (they have a number for online queries) and they said that it wasnt up to them, and that i had to phone the secretary *gulp*  got her number, and tried once today, no answer. Very busy at work and didnt get another chance, will try again tomorrow.

OK, don't leave it too late though cos your less likely to get it go in your favour. :)
