About this meeting
Garstang Discussion meets every Monday at 8pm at Catterall Village Hall on Garstang Road, serving the market town of Garstang and the villages between Preston and Lancaster. It is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting — for anyone with a desire to stop drinking, or anyone wondering whether they need to — with a discussion format: a topic or reading opens the meeting and members share around it for the hour and a half. The village hall is wheelchair accessible and the group operates a chit system for anyone needing attendance evidenced for court, probation or treatment. Its Friday sister meeting at the same hall completes the week for the rural Wyre communities.
