About this meeting
As Bill Sees It is a Tuesday night Alcoholics Anonymous meeting held at St Ambrose Preparatory School on Wicker Lane in Hale Barns, on the edge of Altrincham. It runs for an hour from 7.30pm and takes its name from the AA book of the same title, a collection of short readings from co-founder Bill W. that groups use as a springboard for discussion. This is a closed meeting, so it is intended for people who have a desire to stop drinking rather than for observers or supporters; newcomers in that position are very welcome and do not need any prior knowledge of the book. The school is wheelchair accessible, attendance is free, and there is no booking involved.
Common questions
What does 'closed meeting' mean, and can I come?
A closed AA meeting is for anyone who has, or thinks they may have, a desire to stop drinking. If that is you, you are welcome. Family, friends and professionals are instead invited to attend one of the area's open meetings.
Does the meeting cost anything or need booking?
No. Like all AA meetings it is free to attend and there is no booking; just turn up at St Ambrose Preparatory School shortly before 7.30pm on Tuesday.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
Yes. The venue on Wicker Lane, Hale Barns is listed as wheelchair accessible.
