About this meeting

Bishops Stortford Lunch is a Monday midday meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous at Parsonage Lane Community Centre in Church Manor, Bishop's Stortford. It starts at 12 noon, lasts an hour, and the venue is wheelchair accessible. This is a closed meeting, which in AA language means it is reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking, rather than for observers; it emphatically does not mean the doors are locked to newcomers, who are welcome from their very first day. A lunchtime meeting fits around school runs, shift patterns and jobs that make evenings difficult, and starting the week with a meeting is a habit many members swear by. It is free, and there is no booking or referral involved.
