Shaftesbury Newcomers

If you are new to Alcoholics Anonymous in the Shaftesbury area, the Tuesday Newcomers meeting is designed with you in mind. It meets at 7.30pm in the Methodist Church Hall on Bell Street, SP7 8AR, entered through the iron gates at the side of 4 Parsons Pool, with the meeting in a first-floor room. The hour-long format is geared towards people in their first days and weeks, so questions and nerves are expected rather than unusual. It is an open meeting, meaning family and friends can come too. The venue is listed as wheelchair accessible, attendance is free, and nobody needs to book, register or explain themselves at the door.
