About this meeting

Barrowford Afternoon offers a Sunday option in the Nelson area, meeting at 3pm at Pendle Community Church, 155 Scotland Road, and running for an hour and a half. Sunday afternoons can be a long stretch for anyone trying to stay sober, and a mid-afternoon meeting breaks the day up at just the right point. This is a closed meeting, which in AA language means it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking, including anyone attending for the very first time. Those coming along to support someone else are asked to look for an open meeting instead. The church is listed as wheelchair accessible, and the meeting is free with no booking needed.
