Kinvara Thursday

Kinvara Community Centre on Glebe Road is the setting for a Thursday evening Alcoholics Anonymous meeting at 8.30pm, in the Co. Galway village known for its harbour and traditional music sessions. This is a closed meeting, for those with a desire to stop drinking, reflecting AA's usual practice rather than turning away anyone who recognises that description in themselves. The meeting runs along familiar AA lines, with members speaking about their own experiences and supporting one another without any outside facilitation. Kinvara sits along the Galway Bay coastline, and the Thursday slot gives the group a settled weekly rhythm for locals in the area. There is no fee for attending and no booking required, since the meeting is entirely self-supporting through voluntary contributions.
