This Friday lunchtime Big Book meeting is held at 1.15pm at the Methodist Church Hall on Rampart Road in Hythe, Kent, and lasts an hour and a half. The group studies Alcoholics Anonymous, the fellowship's core text, reading and sharing as they go. It is open to all, so family, friends and anyone curious about AA can attend alongside members. The hall is wheelchair accessible. A daytime meeting suits people who cannot manage evenings, and the relaxed lunchtime slot makes it an approachable first meeting if the thought of walking in still feels daunting. There is no charge and no booking; just arrive shortly before 1.15pm on Friday.
