About this meeting

Carry The Message is an early Saturday meeting, starting at 9am at Godington Village Hall on Loudon Way in Ashford and running for ninety minutes. The format is Big Book study: the group reads from Alcoholics Anonymous's foundational text and discusses how its programme works day to day. It is an open meeting, welcoming anyone with a desire to stop drinking along with family, friends and professionals who want to listen and learn. The village hall is listed as wheelchair accessible. Like every AA meeting it is free, with a voluntary collection and no obligation, and nobody needs to book — starting the weekend here is as simple as turning up.
