About this meeting
Bristol Stay In The Boat Big Book takes place every Wednesday at 7.30pm at St Mary's Church, College Rd, Bristol, and is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. The closed format means it is for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than family, friends or professionals attending as observers, though anyone new to the fellowship is welcome. The meeting centres on Big Book study. The venue sits under postcode BS162JB. St Mary's Church is wheelchair accessible. As with every AA meeting, it costs nothing to attend and no advance booking is required.
