About this meeting
Retford Primary Purpose meets on Monday evenings at 7.30pm in St Saviours Church Community Centre on Welham Road, running for an hour and a half. The name refers to AA's stated primary purpose of helping members stay sober and carry the message to others still struggling, which the meeting takes as its focus. It is an open meeting, so anyone can attend, whether they have a desire to stop drinking or want to support someone who does. The community centre is wheelchair accessible, and Retford's position in north Nottinghamshire makes this a useful option for people who might otherwise face a longer journey to a bigger town.
