Exeter's Thursday meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous takes place at the Palace Gate Centre, 3 Palace Gate, at 7.30pm and lasts an hour. It is a closed meeting, AA's term for a meeting kept for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking; it does not mean the doors are locked, and anyone worried about their own drinking will be made welcome. The venue is wheelchair accessible and is also listed as accessible for people with hearing difficulties. A chit system operates, so attendance slips can be signed for court, probation or treatment purposes. There is no cost and no booking required; simply arrive a little before the start.
