About this meeting

Bishop's Stortford Experience, Strength & Hope meets every Friday at 8pm at Water Lane United Reformed Church in Bishop's Stortford. It is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, held for those with a desire to stop drinking rather than the wider public, and takes its name from the phrase AA members often use to describe what they offer one another, drawing on personal experience rather than advice. Friday evening gives the meeting a natural end-of-week feel, with members sharing on the week just gone. Water Lane United Reformed Church is wheelchair accessible, so the venue should suit members with mobility needs.
