About this meeting
Bournemouth Lunch fills a useful slot: Sunday afternoon at 1.30pm, when the weekend can stretch out uncomfortably for people trying not to drink. The meeting is held in the Tudor Hall at St Swithuns Church on Gervis Road, close to the town centre, and runs for an hour and a quarter. It is an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, welcoming anyone at all, from someone walking in for the first time to family members, friends and professionals. The hall is wheelchair accessible, and the group operates a chit system for anyone needing attendance signed for court, probation or treatment. Free to attend and impossible to book even if you wanted to, it asks nothing more of you than turning up.
Common questions
Can I just turn up on the day?
Yes. That is exactly how AA works; there is no booking, referral or cost. Arrive a few minutes before 1.30pm on Sunday at the Tudor Hall, St Swithuns Church, Gervis Road.
Who is the meeting for?
It is an open meeting, so it is for anyone: people worried about their drinking, family, friends and professionals. Membership of AA itself asks only for a desire to stop drinking.
Is the venue accessible, and can attendance be evidenced?
The Tudor Hall is listed as wheelchair accessible, and a chit system operates, so slips can be signed for court, probation or treatment requirements.
