Pickering Castle Newcomers

Pickering Castle Newcomers is held on Monday evenings at the same Friends Meeting House on Castlegate used by the town's other AA group, running for roughly an hour. As the name suggests, the meeting is geared towards people who are newer to the fellowship, though as an open meeting it also welcomes anyone with a desire to stop drinking regardless of how long they have been attending. Both wheelchair access and hearing support are available at the venue, so attendees with mobility or hearing needs should find it a practical option. The Monday slot gives Pickering a second weekly meeting alongside the Thursday session, spreading support across the week.
