Take the cash?

If an organiser asked you to return prize money due to an error in the result, after you have cashed the cheque what would you do?

Note this relates to a real event and may affect the outcome Wink

I must have won about three quid in cycling. I always donate it to the organising club <smug self important grin> so question does not arise.

Refund fully, you may want to race in another of his/her events.

If its someone like Sue Knight, who is the South Division saviour - being blacklisted could leave you with a lot of empty weekends.

Dont see much point in asking the question!? Ive never known it n 12 years racing?
Most organisers wouldnt mention it anyway i think - leave them with the prize money as it was their own mistake?

If it's a genuine/honest mistake, refund. No question. How much is it anyway, and when you say a cheque is "cashed", do you mean paid in? In which case write one and send it back.

It does happen. I returned a cheque given to me in error at the first race of this season... took it at the event and then posted it back to the organiser.

It helped that there were two other cheques though Laughing

If they were... then something would have been known about it way before prizes were sent out.

Pure stupidity is the only answer...
