Chester Handbridge Lunchtime is a Monday meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous, starting at 1pm at St Mary Without The Walls on Overleigh Road in Handbridge, just south of the river from Chester city centre. It is an open meeting, so anyone may attend, including partners, family members and professionals, alongside anyone with a desire to stop drinking. Running for an hour and a half, it suits people who find evenings difficult or who want to fit a meeting around work. The church is wheelchair accessible, and the group operates a chit system, so attendance slips can be signed for court, probation or treatment purposes.
