The Summerhill Group meets every Sunday at 8.30pm at Drum Community Centre, off the Ballinasloe Road in Athlone, Co. Westmeath. The format is Big Book based, with readings and discussion drawn from AA's core text rather than open sharing on a chosen topic. It is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, so it is for AA members and anyone else with a desire to stop drinking, not for the general public or family members wishing to observe. There is no cost to attend and no need to book, so anyone who fits the closed meeting criteria can simply arrive before 8.30pm. Wheelchair access at Drum Community Centre has not been confirmed.
