Getting there
About this meeting
Thursday brings a Steps-focused session of Primary Purpose to the COPE Centre in Mervue, starting at 8pm and working through the Twelve Steps rather than open discussion. It remains a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, for those with a desire to stop drinking, in line with the group's other sessions during the week. The later evening time may suit people who cannot get away earlier in the day. There is no cost to attend and no need to arrange a place beforehand. Wheelchair accessibility at the COPE Centre has not been confirmed, so anyone with access needs should contact the group directly if this is a concern.
