Getting there
About this meeting
Lough House, on the grounds of Ards Hospital on Church Street in Newtownards, hosts a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting every Monday at 8.30pm. It is a meeting for AA members and anyone with a desire to stop drinking, rather than being open to the wider public. There is no fee to attend and no need to book in advance, so people can simply arrive shortly before the start. Wheelchair access at Lough House has not been confirmed, so it is worth checking ahead if step-free access matters to you. The Newtownards North Down group is a busy one, running further meetings at the same venue on several other days of the week.
