Entrance at rear of church. To request link to online meeting email
Early risers can find Belfast Early Birds meeting at 8am on Saturdays at St Mary's Chapel on Chapel Lane, right in Belfast city centre, with entry via the door at the rear of the building. It is a closed AA meeting, meant for those who have a desire to stop drinking, so newcomers should be at that stage themselves rather than simply curious. Starting the weekend with a meeting before the day gets busy is the appeal for many regulars here. An online version is also available, with details sent out by email on request. As with the other Early Birds meetings, wheelchair access has not been confirmed, so check ahead if this is important to you.
