Accrington Keep It Simple meets on Saturday evenings at 6pm at Antley Methodist Church on Blackburn Road, running for an hour and a half. The name reflects a well-known AA saying, and the meeting offers a steady end-of-week anchor for people who find weekends the hardest time to stay away from a drink. It is a closed meeting, which in AA terms means it is kept for people who have a desire to stop drinking, or who are beginning to wonder whether alcohol has become a problem they want to be rid of. The church is listed as wheelchair accessible. There is no cost, no booking and no paperwork; arriving a few minutes early is all the preparation needed.
I have never been to AA. Can I come to this meeting?
Yes. Although it is a closed meeting, that simply means it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking. Newcomers are the most important people in the room, and you will not be asked to speak unless you want to.
Is there a charge or booking system?
No. Just turn up at Antley Methodist Church before 6pm on Saturday. Meetings are self-supporting through small voluntary contributions, but nothing is expected from anyone new.
Is the venue accessible?
Antley Methodist Church is listed as wheelchair accessible. The meeting runs from 6pm to 7.30pm every Saturday.
