The group asks people to use the bottom door of Cambridge Street Methodist Church, the one nearest to Cambridge Street. The meeting starts at 6pm on Thursdays and lasts one hour.

Does it cost anything?

No. AA meetings are free and unticketed. A pot is passed round for voluntary contributions towards the rent, but there is no obligation, especially for newcomers.
