About this meeting
Barnard Castle's AA group meets on Saturday mornings at 10.30am at Barnard Castle Methodist Church on Flatts Road, for an hour and a quarter. It is a closed meeting, the AA term for one reserved for people who have, or wonder if they have, a desire to stop drinking; you do not need a diagnosis, a referral or even certainty to attend. The church is wheelchair accessible. There is no cost and no booking required. In a rural corner of County Durham, a regular Saturday meeting gives the weekend some structure, and starting it sober at half past ten in the morning is no small thing.
