Thursday evenings at 6pm see the North Presentation Convent on Gerald Griffin Street host another sitting of Cork City Griffin Street A New Beginning, a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Cork city. As with the group's other meetings at this venue, it is closed to anyone without a desire to stop drinking, so it is not intended for family members or professionals attending purely to observe. The Thursday slot rounds out a week that also includes Saturday and Sunday sittings at the same convent. Attendance is free, with no booking required, so members can simply come along for the 6pm start. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for the convent, so it is worth asking the group ahead if this is a concern.
Is this meeting open to family and friends
No, it is a closed AA meeting for people with a desire to stop drinking, not for family members or professionals as observers.
Is there a cost to attend on Thursdays
No, it is free like all AA meetings and there is no need to book a place.
Is the North Presentation Convent step-free
Wheelchair accessibility has not been confirmed for this venue, so it is best to check directly with the group.
