About this meeting

Boscombe Baptist Church at 26 Palmerston Road hosts this Monday evening Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Bournemouth, starting at 7.30pm and lasting an hour and a quarter. It is a closed meeting, which is AA shorthand for a meeting kept to people who have a desire to stop drinking; you do not need to be a member of anything, and turning up for the first time is exactly how most people start. If you have been asked to evidence your attendance for court, probation or a treatment provider, the group operates a chit system and can sign a slip for you. The church has wheelchair access. Anyone wanting to bring a friend or relative for moral support should look for an open meeting instead, such as the Friday night meeting at the same venue.

Common questions

What does 'closed meeting' actually mean here?

It means the meeting is for people who want to stop drinking, rather than for supporters or observers. Newcomers with that desire are entirely welcome, no membership required.

Can I get an attendance slip signed?

Yes. This group uses the chit system, signing slips as evidence of attendance for court, probation or treatment requirements.

Is it free, and is the building accessible?

Yes on both counts. There is no charge and no booking, and Boscombe Baptist Church on Palmerston Road is wheelchair accessible.
