About this meeting
In Bonnyrigg, the Bonnyrigg Early Bird meeting runs every Friday at 7pm for Alcoholics Anonymous members. It runs at Midlothian Community Hospital. As a closed meeting, it is for AA members only, meaning anyone with a desire to stop drinking is welcome to attend, but it is not open to the general public. Expect the session to last roughly an hour. The building is accessible to wheelchair users. Anyone eligible can turn up on the night; it is free and booking is not required. It is one of several Alcoholics Anonymous meetings running across Bonnyrigg and the surrounding area each week.
