About this meeting
Held every Saturday evening at Fenham Library on Fenham Hall Drive, the Middle Of The Boat group brings Narcotics Anonymous to the west of Newcastle upon Tyne. Doors open the format to newcomers, with a speaker sharing their experience followed by open sharing around the room, so there's space both to listen and to talk when you're ready. The meeting runs from 6.30pm for an hour and a half, giving plenty of time to settle in without feeling rushed. It's a closed meeting, meaning it's for people who identify with a desire to stop using drugs. The venue is wheelchair accessible. If Saturday evenings suit you and you're looking for a steady weekly anchor in Fenham, this is a welcoming place to start.
Common questions
Who can come to this meeting?
This is a closed Narcotics Anonymous meeting, which means it's for people who have a desire to stop using drugs. If that's you, you're welcome, including if it's your very first meeting. The group's beginner and newcomer focus means you'll find a supportive introduction to how NA works.
Do I need to book or pay anything?
No booking is needed and there's no cost to attend. Narcotics Anonymous has no fees or dues. Just turn up at Fenham Library before 6.30pm on Saturday. A voluntary collection is passed to cover room hire and refreshments, but you're never expected to give.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
Yes, Fenham Library is wheelchair accessible. If you have other specific access needs, it's worth arriving a little early so someone from the group can help you get settled before the meeting starts.
