members at their convention at the Hamilton Princess this weekend.

Starting tomorrow, the four-day gathering will feature speakers, workshops, dances, a banquet and a nature walk.

The programme helps members stay clean by coming together in local fellowship meetings.

The NA fellowship was set up in Bermuda in 1985 and now has seven meetings a week.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using. For more information about the convention or Narcotics Anonymous call: 293 0999.

There is a registration fee of $25 but this will be waived for those who can't afford it.
