  • SARF is the regions only forum that has the influence to bring the Council, Local Government Agencies, Developers and Restaurateurs together, all sat at the same collaborative table.


As SARF Develops

  • As SARF projects evolve and event activities begin to mature, SARF committee will make a choice of whether to introduce a membership fee.  Such a move might involve members making the decision to agree to pay a low cost membership fee (This will be a discussion subject).  The rationale behind the future implementation of a membership fee is purely to cover the administration and marketing costs associated with sector profile raising events.  This is not unreasonable when you contemplate the high costs alone of highly targeted industry market research.
