I see from the email that we are going to be refunded - I'd have been happy just to have it carried over again but in the circumstances I suppose they can't do that indefinitely.
A different system I know but I like the way some organisers with sportident have managed this situation - option of a refund or defer for next time. A triathlon up where I stay organised by the local leisure centre also asked people to consider donating their entry fee (they operate as a local charity) which apart from being a nice thing to do means they are more likely to still be operating and able to stage the event next year. (26th September, let's hope by then we are back to something more normal).
