About this meeting
East Dulwich Newcomers meets on Tuesday lunchtimes at 12.30pm at Christ Church on Barry Road, an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting running for an hour and a half. The venue is served by several bus routes, including the 12, 40, 176, 185 and 197, making it accessible without a car. As the name suggests, this open meeting is aimed at people who are new to AA, though family, friends and professionals are equally welcome alongside those with a desire to stop drinking. The group has previously operated with mask wearing, track and trace and a cap of fifteen attendees, so it is worth checking current practice before your first visit. The venue is wheelchair accessible. There is no cost and no need to book in advance.
