About this meeting
On Fridays, the First Derry group meets at 8pm at Rossdowney House, Glendermott Road, in the Waterside area of Derry. Unlike the midweek sessions, this meeting has no set study format, allowing members more room for open sharing at the end of the working week. It remains a closed meeting, for people who have a desire to stop drinking, rather than being open to the wider public or family members. Rossdowney House continues to serve as the group's main venue across several days of the week. There is no cost to attend and no need to book, so members can simply arrive before the 8pm start. Wheelchair access at the venue has not been confirmed.
