On Friday nights at 8pm, the Betchworth Alcoholics Anonymous meeting gathers in the Hamilton Room on Church Street, in the Surrey village of Betchworth between Dorking and Reigate. The meeting lasts an hour and a quarter and the room is wheelchair accessible. It is an open meeting, so anyone can attend, including husbands, wives, parents, friends or professionals wanting to understand what AA offers; you do not need to say a word unless you choose to. Friday evening is a testing time for many people trying to stay away from a drink, and a village meeting at the end of the working week gives structure exactly when it is needed. It is free, and nobody needs to book or be referred.
