POP-UP Meeting Information
The Golden Triangle Area has created a sample pop-up meeting format for members wishing to participate in/create impromptu meetings, it can be download to your smartphone.
Impromptu meetings came about during COVID so members could gather in outside public spaces for meetings. When participating in a impromptu meeting try to find a space that is conducive to an atmosphere of recovery. It also is important to find a location that will allow the members to practice the Sixth Tradition, which states, “An NA group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the NA name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, or prestige divert us from our primary purpose.”
