The Friends Meeting House at 6 The Friars, in the middle of Canterbury, hosts this Friday night study meeting at 7.30pm. Over an hour and a half the group works with the Big Book together with AA's Steps and Traditions, making it a substantial meeting for anyone wanting to dig into the programme rather than skim it. It is open, so attendance is not limited to alcoholics — anyone with an interest is welcome to listen. The building is listed as wheelchair accessible. There is no charge and no booking, and a Friday evening study meeting offers a steady way to start the weekend.
