About this meeting

Carlisle Open Topic meets on Thursday evenings at 7.30pm at St Augustine's RC Church on Waverley Road, running for an hour and a half. As the name suggests, the discussion is not fixed in advance, and as an open meeting it welcomes anyone - people who want to stop drinking, family, friends and professionals alike. The church is wheelchair accessible. The group can also sign attendance slips (sometimes called chits) for anyone who needs evidence of attendance for a court, probation or treatment requirement; just ask the secretary. Attending costs nothing and there is no booking - arrive a few minutes before 7.30pm and you will be welcomed.
