Meeting on Monday nights at 8.30pm, the Blackwatertown group gathers in Benburb Priory on Main Street in Benburb, a village just outside Dungannon in Co. Tyrone. It is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, so it is for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than the general public. The Priory setting gives the group a quiet, settled room away from passing traffic, and Dungannon remains the nearest larger town for anyone travelling in from further afield. Wheelchair accessibility at the Priory has not been confirmed, so anyone with mobility needs should get in touch with the group before their first visit. There is no charge to attend and no need to book a place. Newcomers who are not sure whether they qualify for a closed meeting are still welcome to ask the group directly.
Why is the group called Blackwatertown but the meeting held in Benburb
The group takes its name from the wider Blackwatertown area, but the meeting itself is held at Benburb Priory in the neighbouring village of Benburb, near Dungannon.
Who can attend this meeting
It is a closed meeting, meaning it is for those with a desire to stop drinking. Anyone unsure whether that applies to them is still encouraged to contact the group.
Is there a fee to attend or a need to book ahead
No. Like all Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, it is free and open on a drop-in basis with no booking required.
