About this meeting
Dingwall Without Defence Against The First is a weekly AA meeting in Dingwall, gathering on Wednesdays at 7.30pm, at Temperance House on Tulloch St. As a closed meeting, it is reserved for those who share a desire to stop drinking, rather than being open to all comers. The meeting lasts around an hour and a half. The name echoes the well-known AA line about having no defence against the first drink. The building offers wheelchair access. The meeting is free to attend and there is no need to book, as with all AA meetings, and it can be found at postcode IV15 9JY.
