Running sourdough courses and the Sourdough School website is a business and despite me feeling very much that I am meeting with the loveliest people from all over the world, experience as taught me that we still have to have terms of business, which we adhere to.
The terms and conditions below are about fairness and integrity, and respect. We are a small business and when you book a course we commit to the costs of running a workshop, which actually begin 2 months before you attend.
We prepare the research and plan the schedule, prepare food, (especially some of our fermented foods,) book guests, and staff in advance, and we supply you with a membership to the sourdough club, and your place is secured. We also ask that you use the sourdough club tutorials to ensure that you have a minimum level of knowledge before attending. So a significant amount of administration, and direct costs are incurred for each booking a long time before you arrive at the school.
We also teach in very small groups, and a great deal of care is put into making each workshop successful.
Respect & Privacy
Students are able to discuss personal details during the course without worrying about their details or participation being shared. Our terms of business therefore reflect this.
Therefore we ask that you please read these terms carefully before booking.
We regret that courses are not open to people who teach bread making. (The only exception to this is for Sourdough Sisters. Please see information below.)
Please note that by applying to the course you sign in your application, to say that you have read and accepted these terms and conditions.
By entering into a competition you are agreeing with the terms and conditions outlined below.
