Back To Basics is a Saturday morning Alcoholics Anonymous meeting held at The Night Shelter, 10 St Paul's Lane in Bournemouth, starting at 10.30am and lasting an hour and ten minutes. It is an open meeting, so as well as people who want to stop drinking, family members, friends and anyone with a professional interest are welcome to attend. A weekend morning slot suits people who find evenings difficult, and the slightly shorter format keeps things focused. The venue is wheelchair accessible. The group also runs a chit system, which means attendance slips can be signed for anyone needing evidence for court, probation or a treatment provider. There is nothing to pay and nothing to book; arriving a few minutes before 10.30am is all that is needed.
