Bournemouth Thursday

Bournemouth also has a Thursday Gamblers Anonymous meeting, starting at 7.30pm and running for an hour and a half at Boscombe Baptist Church on Palmerston Road. Together with the Monday meeting at St John's Church, it gives the town two chances a week to attend. It's an open meeting, welcoming anyone affected by gambling, whether that's someone with a desire to stop gambling themselves or a partner, parent or friend wanting to learn more about the fellowship. Members share their own experience and work through the twelve steps together in confidence. There's no charge to attend and no need to book beforehand; just arrive a few minutes before half past seven and ask for the group.
