About this meeting

West End Newcomers meets on Monday evenings at 6.30pm for an hour at Hinde Street Methodist Church on Thayer St, offering a meeting pitched specifically at people who are new to AA. Despite the name, it is a closed meeting, meaning attendance is intended for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than a meeting that is shut to the public in any literal sense, so anyone identifying with that description, however new to the fellowship, is welcome. The evening slot after the working day makes it a practical first meeting for many people in the area. Thayer St is close to Bond Street and Baker Street stations, making the venue easy to find for a first visit.

Is there a cost or do I need to book?

What time does the meeting start?
