Three Reads And A Ramble meets early on Friday mornings at 7am at the Salvation Army on Balham High Road. As the name suggests, the format opens with three short readings before moving into more open, free-flowing sharing, which makes for a fairly relaxed start to the day. It's a closed meeting, for AA members and anyone with a desire to stop drinking, rather than an open meeting for visitors or professionals. Wheelchair access to the venue has not been confirmed, so it's worth checking with the group beforehand if that's relevant to you. An early start on Balham High Road suits those heading into work in central London straight afterwards.
