classes put on by guild
I went to a class today and worked on a quilt pattern by a nationally known quilt maker which was taught by one of her certified instructors. Good class and it was held at a LQS.
The lady in my guild,who set it up, required a 25.00 deposit to hold the space. If we didn't show up ,we lost our money. Since the class had a limited number of spaces, I understood. But from what she has said, she is planning on continuing this practise for future classes, even those held at out normal location and taught by guild members.
If the class doesn't cost anything and doesn't have limited space, why would I give a deposit? I probably won't sign up either cause I am not interested in possibility losing my money if something unavoidable comes up.
Is this being unreasonable on my part? I understand that she wants people to come, but I really can't afford to lose money like that. I'd be worried the whole time that something would interfere and there goes 25.00 bucks.
