Chit system available.
Meeting on Fridays at 1pm in the Melville Rooms at St Mary's Parish Church, Church Road, Barnes, this Step and Tradition meeting runs for an hour and a half and works through AA's Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. It is a closed meeting, meaning it is intended for people who have, or think they might have, a desire to stop drinking; that is the only qualification. The Melville Rooms are wheelchair accessible, and a chit system is available for anyone who needs attendance signed off for court, probation or a treatment programme. There is nothing to pay and no need to book; arrive just before 1pm and head in.
Who is this Barnes meeting for?

Yes, it is free, and no, there is no appointment or booking. Just come to the Melville Rooms at St Mary's Parish Church on a Friday before 1pm.
Can I get a chit signed here?
Yes. A chit system is available, so attendance slips can be signed for court, probation or treatment. The venue is also wheelchair accessible.
