On Thursday evenings, an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting takes place at 8.30pm at the James O'Keefe Memorial Institute in Newmarket, Co. Cork. Anyone can attend, whether they have a desire to stop drinking themselves or simply want to support someone close to them, since this is not a members-only session. The Institute is also home to Tuesday and Sunday meetings run by the same group, offering three fixed points of contact each week for the town. Wheelchair accessibility has not been confirmed for the building, so it would be sensible to check ahead if step-free access is required. As with every AA meeting, there is no cost and no need to register beforehand.
Is this meeting open to non-members?
Yes, it is an open meeting, so friends, family and anyone curious about the programme are welcome alongside those with a desire to stop drinking.
Do I need to book a place or pay to attend?
No booking or payment is required, the meeting is free and you can simply turn up at the Institute before 8.30pm.
What other meetings does this group run?
The same Newmarket group also meets on Tuesday evenings and Sunday late mornings at the James O'Keefe Memorial Institute.
