About this meeting

Melrose Day Centre at Rossdowney House on Glendermott Road, Waterside, Derry hosts Derry First Derry, an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting that runs every Sunday at 3pm. It runs weekly at the same time, in step with AA meetings held across the UK. As with any AA meeting, the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking, and newcomers are never expected to speak unless they want to. Newcomers don't need to book ahead or pay anything; arriving a few minutes before 3pm gives time to settle in.
