Coronavirus lockdown, 2021

With the re-opening of La Rosa’s tearoom for guests, we have resumed fortnightly meetings as before.
Note that the tearoom is closed to the public on the day of the meeting.
- Consult the Calendar.
POLITE NOTICE
Special rules govern the conduct of open events, i.e. those which admit members of the public off the street. They concern fire regulations, insurance, entrance fees etc and are onerous to comply with. In consequence most clubs and societies run their meetings as private events for members only, or by invitation only. Whitby Writers Group is no exception.
When booked for a private event, the tearoom is closed to the public. If you fancy attending a meeting, please don’t just turn up. Otherwise the hotel and the club chairman (me) are legally obliged to refuse you entry.
Send me a message via the Contact page introducing yourself and providing full name and a personal email address. Give me at least 24 hours’ notice (though I’d prefer more, say 7 days). I shall reply by email with an invitation, although strictly speaking this will be at my discretion. The venue places a limit on the numbers attending, so please don’t be offended to be told you are on the waiting list.
Ian Clark, Chairman, WWG
