Pontllanfraith Big Book/Speaker meets on Wednesday lunchtimes at one o'clock at St John Ambulance Hall on Llanarth Road, running for an hour and giving people in the Blackwood area a midday option rather than only evening meetings. The format combines readings from the AA Big Book with speaker shares, where a member tells their own story before the floor opens to wider sharing among those with a desire to stop drinking. As a closed meeting, it is kept for those pursuing their own recovery rather than open to onlookers, which suits the personal nature of speaker shares. The hall is wheelchair accessible, so mobility should not be a barrier to attending. There is no cost to attend and nothing to book beforehand, you simply arrive shortly before one o'clock.
