1973 Intergroups in Wales

"The first known group in Wales was founded in Abergavenny in 1963. Until then most alcoholics who wanted to attend A.A. meetings had to cross the border into England. A decade later, the Welsh Borders Intergroup is founded to link groups on both sides of the border. An intergroup has also been established in South Wales-the Cymraig Intergroup, composed of groups in Cardiff, Swansea, Llanelli, and Newport."
