I think it's worth suggesting to LVV some kind of 'session transfer system' seeing as now that you have to book up a month in advance. A way for riders who've booked an SQT - but are unable to make it for some reason - being able to transfer their spot to another rider (in exchange for a paypal transfer or whatever they agree).
If you can't make it and try to cancel within 5days of the date, there's no refund, so no incentive for people to give up their spot. Subsequently the 20 person SQTs rarely have the full quota of people attending, as inevitably things come up which you can't foresee 4 weeks ahead.
In fact, maybe it's just a case of being given a thumbs up from LVV and then there could be a thread on LFGSS where people post if they can't make a session. First to dibs gets the spot, then session seller contacts LVV and says 'so-and-so will be using my spot'. Can't see why they'd object...no loss of income for them.
Thoughts?
