The Hodge Hill group meets on Friday nights at 8pm at the United Reformed Church on Coleshill Road, in the Hodge Hill area of east Birmingham. The meeting runs for an hour and a half and is open, so anyone may attend, including family members, friends and professionals as well as people with a desire to stop drinking. Friday evening is a testing time for many people in early recovery, and a regular 8pm meeting can anchor the start of the weekend. The church is listed as wheelchair accessible. There is no cost and no booking; you can arrive unannounced, sit at the back and simply listen. The same venue also hosts an early Saturday morning meeting for those who want to follow up quickly.
Is this meeting suitable for someone brand new to AA?
Yes. It is an open meeting, so there are no conditions on attending, and newcomers are welcome to listen without speaking. You can also bring someone with you for support.
Does it cost anything to attend?
No. AA meetings are free, with a voluntary collection for room hire that nobody is obliged to join. There is no booking or registration.
Can wheelchair users get into the venue?
Yes, the United Reformed Church on Coleshill Road is listed as wheelchair accessible.
