Events and training

Payment

  • The Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation (SAKGF) accepts fees for events/training in order to cover costs and further the work of the Foundation, not for a profit.
  • All payments for events/training are to be received on registration, or in the case of Kitchen Garden Program Schools, at least ten days before the event/training commences.
  • If payment of an event/training fee has not been received within the stated period, a registration may be cancelled. The registrant will be notified prior to this occurring.
  • All registrations are deemed to have been placed by an appropriate, approved representative of an individual or organisation.
  • Cancellations are subject to the terms and conditions outlined below.

Cancellation

  • SAKGF understands that there are occasions when bookings for events/training need to be cancelled. We reserve the right to charge 50% of the full fee if less than five business days notice of cancellation is given. If you cancel less than two business days before the commencement of the event/training, or do not attend, you will be charged the full fee. This ensures that we are able to cover any fees or losses incurred for venue hire, equipment, materials and catering based on confirmed numbers.
  • We are happy to accommodate a replacement participant, at no additional charge, when given at least two business days notice.
  • Full refunds are only provided if the registrant provides more than five days notice or a medical certificate for the date in question.
  • There may be times when the number of registrants does not cover the costs of providing an event/training session. SAKGF reserves the right to cancel events/training at its discretion and undertakes to give notice to registrants at least five days prior to the date in question.

Non-attendance

  • Fees will not be refunded or allocated to another event/training session if a registrant fails to attend.

Waiting list

  • Those who register for an event/training waiting list will be contacted only if a place becomes available. No priority will be given to particular individuals.

Catering

  • SAKGF makes every effort to cater to individual dietary restrictions and food intolerances. However, catering is consumed at the participant’s own risk.

Transport and accommodation

  • SAKGF provides transport to and from events/training in a small number of selected instances only. Transport and/or accommodation cannot be provided on request from registrants. Registrants are responsible for their own transport to and from events/training, and their own accommodation should it be required.

Access, safety and equity

  • SAKGF events/training are conducted at premises deemed safe and accessible by the Foundation. However, events/training are attended at the participant’s own risk.
  • Registrants are encouraged to notify SAKGF of any disability or medical condition that might impact on their experience of an event/training session. SAKGF makes every effort to provide accessible and equitable events/training that are open to everyone.
