On Thursday evenings, Tallaght Fettercairn AA Group runs a Beginner meeting at 8.30pm, also at Fettercairn Community Centre on Fettercairn Road, Tallaght, Dublin 24. It is closed to those with a desire to stop drinking and keeps its focus on the fundamentals of AA, making it a gentler starting point than the group's Big Book session held earlier in the week. Wheelchair access at the venue has not been confirmed. As with all AA meetings, there is no charge for attending and no booking process to go through beforehand. Newcomers are encouraged to arrive a few minutes early to settle in before the meeting starts properly.
Is the Thursday meeting suitable for a first visit to AA
Yes, it follows a Beginner format aimed at newcomers, though it remains a closed meeting for those with a desire to stop drinking.
How does it differ from the group's Tuesday meeting
The Tuesday session is a Big Book meeting focused on AA's core text, while this Thursday meeting keeps to the basics for newer members.
Is there a fee to attend
No, it is free, and there is no need to book in advance.
