Blackpool Harvey is an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting held on Monday evenings at Victory Baptist Church on St Anne's Road, starting at 8pm and running for an hour and a half. It is a closed meeting, which in AA simply means it is kept for people who have a desire to stop drinking rather than for observers or supporters; if that describes you, the door is very much open and you can walk in on your first night without any introduction or paperwork. The church is wheelchair accessible. If you would rather bring a family member or friend along for support, the same venue hosts open meetings on other days of the week, including the Wednesday Harmony Big Book group.
What does a 'closed' AA meeting mean, and can I go?
Closed means the meeting is reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking. It is not private or invitation-only; if you want to stop drinking, you can simply turn up.
Is there any charge or booking needed?
No. Like all AA meetings it is free to attend and nobody needs to book. Arrive shortly before 8pm on a Monday and come in.
Can wheelchair users get into the venue?
Yes, Victory Baptist Church is wheelchair accessible.
