Bury's Saturday night meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous is held at 7.30pm in the Ashton Room at Bury Parish Church House on The Wylde, in the heart of the town near the parish church. It runs for an hour and a half and gives people somewhere solid to be on a Saturday evening, often the most testing night of the week for anyone newly away from drink. This is a closed meeting, meaning it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking; anyone in that position, however new, is welcome. Church House is listed as wheelchair accessible. The meeting is free, and there is no booking, referral or paperwork of any kind.
Can I just turn up without telling anyone?
Yes. There is no booking or registration in AA. Arrive at Bury Parish Church House shortly before 7.30pm on Saturday, head for the Ashton Room, and take a seat. Nobody will ask you to speak.
