About this meeting

Bournemouth Bearwood is a closed AA meeting that meets on Thursday evenings at 7pm at Bearwood Community Centre on King John Avenue, lasting around an hour. Because it is closed, it is intended for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than the wider public, though this simply means the focus of the meeting stays on recovery rather than that anyone is turned away who genuinely needs it. The community centre is wheelchair accessible, so mobility should not be a barrier to attending. There is no chit system running at this meeting, so no signed attendance slips are issued here. Bearwood is a residential area on the north-western edge of Bournemouth.
