About this meeting

Sunday evenings at 7.30pm bring Darlington A New Beginning together at the Friends Meeting House, 6 Skinnergate, Darlington, for an hour. As a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting it is reserved for people who have, or suspect they have, a desire to stop drinking; family and friends wanting to support someone are better suited to an open meeting. If you are worried about your own drinking, though, you can simply walk in, with no invitation, referral or introduction needed. The building is wheelchair accessible, and the group runs a chit system, signing attendance slips for court, probation or treatment purposes. Attendance is free, and a sister session meets at the same venue on Friday nights.

Common questions

What does closed mean, exactly?

No. The meeting is free with no booking; arrive at the Friends Meeting House on Skinnergate shortly before 7.30pm on a Sunday.

Can I get a signed chit here?

Yes. The group operates a chit system for court, probation or treatment evidence, and the venue is wheelchair accessible.
