About this meeting

Held at lunchtime on Fridays, Saltdean Lido Newcomers is an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting aimed particularly at people in their early days, meeting at 1pm at Saltdean Lido on Saltdean Park Road, just east of Brighton. It lasts an hour and is an open meeting, so you can attend whether you are wondering about your own drinking or accompanying someone who is. If you are nervous about walking into your first meeting, a newcomer-focused group like this is a gentle place to start, and daytime timing suits people who cannot get out in the evenings. The Lido is wheelchair accessible. As with every AA meeting, it is free and you do not need to book.

Common questions

I have never been to AA before. Is this meeting suitable?

Yes. This is a newcomers meeting, so it is specifically geared towards people attending their first meetings. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.

Do I have to book a place or pay anything?

No. AA meetings are free and there is no booking or registration. Just arrive at Saltdean Lido for 1pm on Friday.

Is there wheelchair access?

Yes. Saltdean Lido is listed as wheelchair accessible, so the meeting can be reached step-free.
