About this meeting

Our Primary Purpose is a Friday night Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Lawrence Weston, in the north-west of Bristol, meeting at 7.30pm at Lawrence Weston Baptist Church, 117 to 119 Long Cross. The meeting runs for an hour and takes its name from AA's stated primary purpose: to stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety. It is an open meeting, so everyone is welcome, whether you have a desire to stop drinking yourself, you are worried about someone else, or you work with people affected by alcohol. For residents of Lawrence Weston, Shirehampton and Avonmouth it saves a trip into the city centre on a Friday evening. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this venue.
