Rye Speaker meets every Friday at 7.30pm in the Upper Room at St Mary's Church on Church Square in Rye. It is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, which means it is for members only, people with a desire to stop drinking, rather than an open meeting for friends, family or the curious. As the name suggests, the format centres on a speaker sharing their own story, which many find a powerful way to hear how the programme has worked for someone else. Chits are available here for anyone needing an attendance slip signed for court, probation or treatment purposes. Wheelchair access to the Upper Room has not been confirmed, so it is worth asking ahead if this affects you.

Are attendance chits available and is the room accessible?
Chits can be signed here for court, probation or treatment purposes. Wheelchair access to the Upper Room has not been confirmed, so it is best to check in advance.
