About this meeting
Every Thursday at noon, this lunchtime meeting gathers at Downing Place United Reformed Church on Downing Street, right in the centre of Cambridge, and runs until 1pm. It is part of a run of lunchtime meetings held at the church on every weekday, so whichever day suits you, the same room and time are there. This Thursday edition is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, kept for people who have a desire to stop drinking; newcomers with that desire are entirely welcome. The church is wheelchair accessible. An hour at midday fits around work and study, which in a city like Cambridge is often the difference between attending and not. There is no cost and no booking.
