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.
Can my family come with me?
This is a closed meeting, so it is for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking. Family and friends who want to understand AA are welcome at open meetings.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. AA meetings are free and there is no booking. Arrive at Barnard Castle Methodist Church on Flatts Road before 10.30am on a Saturday.
Is the church accessible for wheelchair users?
Yes, Barnard Castle Methodist Church is wheelchair accessible.
