If you are sick it's best if you cancel if you can. Even if you aren't playing with anyone, do you really want to risk passing your cold to others?

Yes, this happens and it sucks. We missed 3 events in one week recently because Mr. 2in had just had some minor surgery and was not feeling up to attending. One event was even paid for in advance. Fortunately we got a credit toward the next event. Mrs. 2in was very bummed like you were.

This is a prepaid event and past the refund date, $290. But the sniffles have subsided so perhaps it was allergies.

glad you are feeling better. That does suck when you've prepaid for an event then end up sick.
