About this meeting

Friday evenings at 8.30pm see another Newtownards North Down meeting held at Lough House, on the grounds of Ards Hospital on Church Street. As with the group's other sessions, it is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, kept for AA members and anyone with a desire to stop drinking rather than the general public. There is no charge to attend and no need to book ahead. Wheelchair access at Lough House has not been confirmed, so it would be sensible to check beforehand if this affects you. The group's frequent schedule means anyone who misses the Friday meeting has several other chances during the week at the same venue.
