What if I need to cancel or change my course booking?
England Boxing asks that seven days’ notice is given, in writing, if a participant is no longer able to attend a course. A refund or transfer to another course can then be arranged.
Cancellations/Transfers required after the seven-day notice period are only accepted should there be a change in the participants’ health/medical circumstances. A medical note/written evidence will be required for this to be processed.
Please put all cancellation requests in writing to courses@englandboxing.org
