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.
Can I attend if I have never been to AA before?
Yes. Closed meetings are for anyone with a desire to stop drinking, and that includes people walking through the door for the first time. You will not be asked to speak or sign anything.
Is there any cost involved?
No. The meeting is free. Groups pass a pot round for voluntary contributions towards rent and tea and coffee, but newcomers are not expected to put anything in.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
Yes, Pendle Community Church on Scotland Road is listed as wheelchair accessible. The meeting runs from 3pm to 4.30pm on Sundays.
