About this meeting

Rochdale Newcomers meets on Sunday evenings at 7pm in Champness Hall on Drake Street, in Rochdale town centre, and runs for an hour and a half. Despite the name, it is a closed meeting, so it is for AA members and for people with a desire to stop drinking, rather than being open to the wider public. Champness Hall is wheelchair accessible. There is no cost to attend and no booking needed, as with all AA meetings, so eligible newcomers can simply arrive shortly before 7pm. It serves people across Rochdale and the wider Littleborough area.
