About this meeting
This Narcotics Anonymous group meets every Friday evening at 6pm in the Unitarian Church on Newport's High Street, opposite County Hall. The format alternates week to week between a Just For Today reading and a speaker share, so no two Fridays feel quite the same. Getting there is straightforward: the venue sits a five-minute walk from Newport Bus Station, and any bus heading into the station will drop you nearby. Look for the side entrance next to the Slug & Lettuce; a greeter will be on the door, and signs point the way to the meeting room once you are inside. The meeting runs for an hour and a half. If you cannot make it in person, it is also run as a hybrid, so you can join online instead.
Common questions
Who can come to this meeting?
This is a closed NA meeting, which means it is for members and anyone with a desire to stop using drugs. If that describes you, you are welcome. Closed simply refers to who attends, not the venue being shut.
Do I need to book, and is there a cost?
No booking is needed and there is no charge. Just turn up on the night; a greeter will be at the side entrance next to the Slug & Lettuce to point you towards the room.
Can I join if I can't get there in person?
Yes. This is a hybrid meeting, so you can join online as well as attend in person. Wheelchair access at the venue has not been confirmed, so the online option may help if that is a concern.
