Newport Big Book Newcomers meets on Thursdays at 7.30pm in the Board Room of the large red brick building at St Cadocs Hospital in Caerleon, reached by following the road to the bottom of the slope and turning right toward Gate 3. The session lasts about an hour and is aimed squarely at people new to AA, working through the Big Book at a pace that suits those still finding their feet. As an open meeting, anyone can attend, including family, friends and professionals alongside people with a desire to stop drinking. The venue is wheelchair accessible, and the group operates a chit system, so a signed attendance slip is available for anyone who needs evidence for court, probation or treatment.
