Garstang Discussion meets every Monday at 8pm at Catterall Village Hall on Garstang Road, serving the market town of Garstang and the villages between Preston and Lancaster. It is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting — for anyone with a desire to stop drinking, or anyone wondering whether they need to — with a discussion format: a topic or reading opens the meeting and members share around it for the hour and a half. The village hall is wheelchair accessible and the group operates a chit system for anyone needing attendance evidenced for court, probation or treatment. Its Friday sister meeting at the same hall completes the week for the rural Wyre communities.
