The Ardglass group meets every Monday at 8pm in Dudsford Old School on Tollumgrange Road, a short drive from Downpatrick in Co. Down. It is a closed meeting, held for those with a desire to stop drinking, which gives the group a settled space away from visitors and passers-by. The same room hosts a further session on Saturday evenings looking specifically at the Steps, so anyone wanting a deeper look at the programme has a second option through the week. Wheelchair access at the school has not been confirmed, so anyone with mobility needs may want to ask the group ahead of a first visit. As a closed meeting it is intended for AA members and those exploring whether they want to stop drinking, rather than family, friends or professionals, though a call to ask about attending is always welcome.
Who can attend the Ardglass Monday meeting
It is a closed meeting, meaning it is for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than open to the public. Family, friends or professionals wanting to sit in should look for an open meeting nearby instead.
Is there a cost to attend or do I need to book
No. Alcoholics Anonymous meetings are free and there is no need to book. You can simply arrive at Dudsford Old School for 8pm on Monday.
Is Dudsford Old School wheelchair accessible
Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this venue, so it is worth checking with the group beforehand if this matters to you.
