Carterton

St Joseph's Church on Arkell Avenue in Carterton hosts an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting every Monday at 7.30pm, running for an hour and a half. As an open meeting, it is available to anyone, including family, friends and professionals, not only people with a desire to stop drinking. The church is wheelchair accessible. Carterton, in west Oxfordshire near RAF Brize Norton, also draws members from the nearby towns of Bampton and Burford, so the meeting serves a fairly wide rural catchment rather than Carterton alone. The longer session length allows more time for sharing than a typical hour-long meeting, which can suit members who prefer a slower pace of discussion.
