Wilderness Lectures: information for our
audience
Descriptions of lecture contents and speaker's biographical
information are provided by each speaker. Wilderness Lectures is unable to offer any
guarantee of the accuracy of this information.
The Wilderness Lectures' website offers the definitive
programme and may vary from that previously advertised..
Due to circumstances beyond our control it may be necessary
to change the programme from that previously advertised, at short notice.
* In such an event, we will endeavour to replace the
speaker with another who offers a similar interest.
* Where this is not satisfactory to a member of the
audience, we will refund entry fees at the advertised advance rate on production of the
relevant ticket(s) at the door, prior to the start of the lecture.
* Should it be necessary to cancel a lecture entirely then
we will refund entry fees at the advertised advance rate on production of the relevant
ticket(s) either at the door or submitted to us by post, together with a stamped,
addressed envelope.
Wilderness Lectures cannot be held responsible for the loss
of, or damage to, any personal property or effects.
Wilderness Lectures reserves the right to refuse entry.
Lectures start at 19.30 hrs. Individuals not taking their
seats by 19.25 hrs may find that their seats have been reallocated and that no seat is
available. In such circumstances Wilderness Lectures may, at the organisers' discretion,
refund the ticket price at the advanced ticket rate.
Each ticket represents one entry to our annual prize draw,
providing that the details on the reverse of the ticket are completed legibly, in full.
The draw is made at the last lecture. We will make our best attempt to contact any winner
who is not present on the night. If we are unable to do so, after making reasonable
efforts, then we reserve the right to dispose of the prize at our discretion.
Data and privacy
We use the information provided on tickets to compile our
mailing list. If you are not already on our mailing list, we ask you to
positively opt-in by ticking the appropriate box on the reverse of the ticket.
We will then add you to our mailing list.
Names and addresses on the mailing list will be used by Wilderness Lectures and, possibly, by our sponsors. If you do not wish to receive information from our sponsors, please complete the relevant tick-box on each and every ticket submitted. Our sponsors are specifically acknowledged on our 'Links' page. We will not release contact information to other organisations.
We will keep your details on the mailing list unless
you instruct us to remove them by annotating a ticket accordingly or by
notifying us by email or in writing.
To save cost and paper, we endeavour only to send one
mailing to each household.
We try to keep our mailing list up to date. Please
assist us by advising us of any address change, using the reverse of the ticket.
Providing us with your email address on the
ticket indicates that you have opted-in to receive email correspondence from
us or our sponsors.
Wilderness Lectures is registered under the terms
of the Data Protection Act 1999. Reg. No. PZ8134478

Wilderness Lectures: Information for speakers
and potential speakers
We are always interested in approaches from
interesting speakers. If you think you have something to offer us, please
contact steve.berry@wildernesslectures.com
If we want you to appear in our series, we will
contact you and discuss possible subjects, dates and fees/expenses. We will
agree these with you.
We will then write to you, confirming the arrangements
we have made and our agreement for fees/expenses.
We will ask you to let us know your requirements for
audio-visual equipment and we will provide the necessary equipment on the
night. We will arrange accommodation for you overnight if this is necessary.
We will ask you to provide a short biography for
inclusion in both our brochure and on our website, together with a short
summary of your intended lecture. Please explore our site to see examples so
that you know what is appropriate. We will also ask you to provide one
portrait photograph and one other photograph of yourself, preferably 'in
action'. Digital images are preferred although we are able to scan
photographs or slides. If you send the latter, please ensure that they are
suitably packaged and insured - we are not able to accept responsibility for
material that is posted to us although we will return them to you by Post
Office Special Delivery if you ask us to do so.
Shortly before the event, we will contact you as a
courtesy, to ensure that you are happy with the arrangements and that we
have correctly understood your equipment and accommodation requirements.
We understand that, very occasionally, things go wrong
and speakers are unable to attend. In the event that you are due to appear
in our series and are unable to do so we must ask you to let us know as soon
as possible. Given sufficient notice, we are normally able to provide our
audience with an alternative speaker.
However, if you cancel with minimal notice (48 hours
or less) or fail to attend the scheduled event, we reserve the right to ask
you for compensation to cover our losses. This claim will comprise our fixed
costs (venue hire, a proportion of marketing overhead etc) and an element
for loss of profit. The latter will be based on the value of tickets sold,
less our fixed costs and agreed speaker fees. In the event that we are
unable to reach an amicable agreement for compensation, we reserve the right
to take legal action.
