About this meeting
This Newcomers meeting is held at Lostock Gardens Community Centre in Blackpool every Saturday morning at 10.30am, running for an hour and a half. Despite the name, this is a members meeting rather than an open one, meant for people who already have a desire to stop using drugs rather than for family, friends or professional visitors. The beginner-friendly focus means it is designed to explain the programme clearly and patiently for anyone still new to the fellowship, even though attendance is limited to members. The venue is wheelchair accessible, which is useful for a Saturday morning slot when other transport options may be limited. Its weekend morning timing offers an alternative for members who cannot make weekday evening meetings elsewhere in Blackpool.
