Dawlish holds its weekly AA meeting on Friday evenings at 7.30pm in the Methodist Church Hall on Brunswick Place, running for an hour and a quarter. It is a closed meeting, which sounds forbidding but is not: it means the meeting is reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking, precisely so they can speak freely among others who understand. If that is you, walk straight in. The hall is wheelchair accessible. There is no charge, no booking and no paperwork of any kind. For anyone along this stretch of the South Devon coast, it is a steady weekly fixture that many people build the rest of their week around.
What does closed mean, and am I allowed to attend?
Closed means the meeting is for people who have a desire to stop drinking, and nothing more. If you want help with your own drinking you are welcome; family and friends should look for an open meeting.
Do I need to pay or book in advance?
No. AA meetings are free and there is no booking; simply arrive at the hall shortly before 7.30pm on a Friday.
Is the hall wheelchair accessible?
Yes, Dawlish Methodist Church Hall is wheelchair accessible.
