About this meeting

Sandown Tuesday meets weekly at 7.15pm at St John the Evangelist Church Hall on St John's Crescent, Sandown, Isle of Wight. Al-Anon Family Groups are there for people affected by someone else's drinking, among them partners, parents, adult children and friends, rather than for the drinker themselves. Being an open meeting, it welcomes newcomers, professionals and anyone with an interest in Al-Anon alongside its regular members. The meeting runs for an hour and 15 minutes. There is no charge and no booking process to go through beforehand; those attending can simply arrive a few minutes early and take a seat, joining in as much or as little as feels right.

Common questions

Can I come without the drinker knowing I've gone to Al-Anon?

Yes. The meeting is for you, and there is no requirement to tell the person whose drinking has affected you that you are attending.

Is there a cost, and do I need to book a place?

No. Like all Al-Anon meetings, it is free to attend and there is no booking system; you can simply come along on the day.

Is the schedule fixed from week to week?

Yes, the group meets weekly rather than monthly or on an occasional basis.
