The Rathdowney Group meets on Tuesday evenings at 8.30pm in the Old YMCA Hall on Church Street, Rathdowney, Co. Laois. Tuesday's meeting follows a Steps format, with members working through the Twelve Steps together rather than reading from a set text. As with the vast majority of AA meetings, it is members-only, kept for people with a desire to stop drinking, but that includes anyone coming along for the first time. There is no charge to attend and no need to book a place beforehand. Wheelchair accessibility at the Old YMCA Hall has not been confirmed, so anyone with mobility needs should contact the group ahead of the meeting. Rathdowney is a small Laois town near the Kilkenny border.
Is a Steps meeting suitable for someone new to AA
Yes, the format simply means the group works through the Twelve Steps together, and a first-time attender is welcome regardless of experience.
Do I need to book to attend on Tuesday
No, there is no booking system and no charge, so you can arrive at the Old YMCA Hall for 8.30pm.
Is the Old YMCA Hall wheelchair accessible
This has not been confirmed, so it would be sensible to check with the group in advance if you use a wheelchair.
