Birtley

Birtley meets on Friday mornings at 11.15am in Barley Mow Village Hall on Bedford Avenue, and lasts about an hour, giving a weekday daytime option near Chester le Street. This Alcoholics Anonymous meeting is open, so anyone with an interest in the fellowship is welcome, including friends, family and professionals alongside those with a desire to stop drinking. The village hall is wheelchair accessible, and there is no cost to attend and no need to book a place in advance. Newcomers who are unsure what to expect can simply arrive a little before quarter past eleven and take a seat.
