Deposits and reservations

It is generally a good idea to change a non-refundable deposit for major (expensive) events.

1. For some events, the pre-event costs (reservations, transportation, publicity, office expenses) are high and others fairly low, but a deposit policy needs to be uniform across all events to avoid confusion.
   
2. Establish a standard deposit amount for week-end events and week long events.
   
3. Do not accept a reservation based on a promise to get the deposit in. No deposit, no reservation.
