What we’re about
Let's Get Social! Scarborough is to encourage like minded people to get together.
We arrange social events, or any other kind of events to promote Scarborough and its surrounding areas.
Everyone is welcome and included! We are here to make new friendships and share interests 😀
As a group, we are inclusive, friendly and our socials are in well known areas and venues. Most of our events are also hosted, so there's a key contact.
We understand people can often feel nervous or apprehensive which is why all our events are organised by our new Scarborough based, hosting team.
Our aim is for Let's Get Social! Scarborough seasider's to have a good experience, so please ensure you have a good profile photo so we know who to look out for & we ask that you're courteous & respectful to fellow Socialiser's.
What to expect:
- Socials planned in popular venues, close to bus/ train routes,
- A clear meeting point/ description/ timing of the social & who the host is,
- Friendly & welcoming host/ members. We cannot guarantee we can reserve specific seating areas for you if for example you have a disability. Whilst we will aim to accommodate you we will not accept complaints if hosts cannt adhere to your requests.
- On occasion we may publish a social event without a host (usually because it's not organised by us), but we've added it on the site for awareness,
- Any complaints or issues e.g. inappropriate messaging/ fall outs within the group, will be handled by the organiser & a fair/ objective/ factual approach will be taken,
- Any complaints or issues e.g. personal fallouts, outside of the group can be made to the organiser for awareness only. We do not get involved with anyone else's personal or private situations, we strongly advise you do not post negative comments on the meetup platform about other members. Please raise any concerns to the Organisers first
- What not to expect:
- Disruption - personal conflicts are to be kept off the group & we would encourage any issues to be discussed & hopefully resolved. If personal conflicts cannot be resolved, then we advise common sense is applied & people do not attend the same socials,
- We are a safe, inclusive group, therefore, bullying/ harmful gossip/ racism/ sexism/ lewd behaviour is not tolerated & the person will be removed,
- Cancellations - it's not often we cancel a social, however, if we do it's due to very low numbers/ an issue with the venue or severe weather.
Disclaimer (the serious bit!):
We want everyone to have an enjoyable social and we aim to choose the best venues & locations. Attending our socials is at your own discretion & we advise that you read the social description/ meeting location/ time of the social meetup/ updated meetup comments & familiarise yourself with the host & the guest list.
We are NOT responsible for the member's journey to the social, the member finding the venue, any purchases made by the member e.g. food, drinks, tickets. We do not tolerate racist, sexist, lewd, aggressive or bullying behaviour & if this happens we will remove you from the group.
We also advise people not to bring personal conflict with others into the group as this can cause disruption. Any comments published that are discourteous to others or undermine the host will be deleted. We are NOT responsible for clashes of personality or differences of opinion and if this happens at the social we advise you to walk away & converse with someone else. Plus one's (guests) are welcome on the group, however it's important that people attending socials know who they are meeting, so we would ask that any guests DO join the group after attending at least two socials & upload a clear profile.
Thanks, Caroline (Group Organiser) and Randy (Co-Organiser)
