Beaconsfield Beginners is aimed squarely at people new to Alcoholics Anonymous. It meets on Tuesdays at 6.30pm at The Fitzwilliams Centre, Windsor End, in Beaconsfield Old Town, and lasts an hour. Because it is an open meeting, anyone may come along: someone worried about their own drinking, a family member or friend wanting to understand what AA offers, or a professional accompanying a client. The centre is wheelchair accessible, and a chit system operates, so attendance slips can be signed for court, probation or treatment evidence. Usefully, the closed Beacon Lights meeting follows at 8pm in the same building, so newcomers who want more can stay on for a second meeting.
I've never been to AA before. Is this a good first meeting?
Yes. It is specifically a beginners meeting and it is open, so you can come alone or bring someone for support. Nobody is required to speak; listening is fine.
Does it cost anything or need booking?
No. AA meetings are free and there is no booking. Arrive at The Fitzwilliams Centre shortly before 6.30pm on a Tuesday.
Is there wheelchair access, and can attendance be evidenced?
The centre is wheelchair accessible, and the meeting signs chits confirming attendance for court, probation or treatment programmes.
