This open discussion meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous meets every Thursday evening in Bedford, running from 7.30pm for around an hour and fifteen minutes. The group gathers at Quaker House on Lansdowne Rd, a venue with wheelchair access, so mobility is not a barrier to attending.

The format centres on free discussion, with members sharing their own experience of recovery through the twelve steps in a relaxed and supportive setting.
