About this meeting

Garstang Tradition 3 Gratitude carries its meaning in its name: AA's Third Tradition states that the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. The group meets every Friday at 8pm at Catterall Village Hall on Garstang Road, a closed meeting running an hour and a half for anyone who has that desire — or is honestly wondering whether they should. The hall is wheelchair accessible and a chit system operates for those needing attendance evidenced. Between this Friday meeting and Monday's Garstang Discussion at the same venue, the rural stretch between Preston and Lancaster keeps AA within reach at both ends of the week.
