Blackwood Third Tradition is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting held every Wednesday at 8pm in Lanark. You will find it at Hope Church. It is a closed meeting rather than an open one, which in AA terms means it is for members and for anyone who has a desire to stop drinking. The meeting lasts around an hour and a half. The group can sign a chit confirming attendance, which is often needed for court, probation or treatment records. The building is accessible to wheelchair users. No booking is required, and there is no charge to attend.
Can anyone come along to this meeting?
Attendance is limited to people who have a desire to stop drinking, which is how AA defines a closed meeting. It is not restricted to existing members alone; anyone with that desire can come.
Does it cost anything to attend, and do I need to book?
There is no charge and no need to book. You can simply arrive for the start time.
Can I get proof of attendance for court, probation or treatment?
Yes. The group can sign a chit confirming you attended, which is commonly used as evidence for court, probation or a treatment programme.
