About this meeting

Newport Common Solution meets on Friday lunchtimes at the Congregational Church on Pyle Street, starting at 1pm and running for about an hour. Serving Newport and Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight, this open meeting welcomes anyone with an interest in Alcoholics Anonymous, including family and friends, alongside members. The church has wheelchair access, though no newcomer chit is noted for this group. Taking its name from the section of the AA Big Book describing a common solution to a desire to stop drinking, the meeting offers a lunchtime option in the centre of Newport.
