Chit system available.
The Congleton Saturday group meets at 8pm in the Nelson Room at Trinity Methodist Church on Wagg Street in Congleton, and runs for an hour and a half. It is a closed meeting, which in AA simply means it is reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking; anyone who wants that for themselves is welcome. Friends, family or professionals wanting to see how AA works would be better served by an open meeting, such as the Thursday meeting held in the same room. The venue is wheelchair accessible. A chit system operates here, so attendance slips can be signed as evidence for court, probation or a treatment programme. There is no charge and nothing to book; you can simply turn up.
What does it mean that this is a closed meeting?
A closed meeting is for people who have a desire to stop drinking, which is AA's only membership requirement. It is not restricted to existing members, so newcomers seeking help for themselves are welcome. Family or friends wanting to learn about AA should look for an open meeting, such as the Thursday meeting at this venue.
Do I need to book or pay to attend?
No. AA meetings are always free and there is no booking, referral or registration. You can simply arrive shortly before 8pm on a Saturday.
Can I get proof of attendance for court or probation?
Yes. This meeting operates a chit system, meaning a member can sign an attendance slip for you to use as evidence for court, probation or a treatment programme.
