Newark

Newark's Tuesday meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous is held at the Methodist Church on Barnby Gate, next to the Rutland Arms Hotel, which makes the venue easy to find on foot from the town centre. It starts at 7.30pm and lasts an hour and a quarter. The meeting is open, so anyone may attend: people who want to stop drinking, family members and friends, and professionals wanting to see AA at first hand. The church has wheelchair access. Nothing needs to be arranged in advance, there is no charge, and no one will ask you to prove anything about yourself; if you are new, you can simply sit and listen for the whole meeting if you prefer.
