About this meeting
Chapter & Verse meets on Thursday evenings at 8pm at All Saints Church on Pembroke Road in Clifton, and the name gives away the flavour: this is a literature-minded Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, rooted in the written programme. It runs for an hour and is a closed meeting, which means it is reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking rather than for visitors or supporters; if that describes you, no other qualification is needed. The church is wheelchair accessible. The group also holds a second meeting at the same venue on Sunday evenings at 7pm, so anyone who takes to the format can attend twice a week.
Common questions
What does closed mean here? The church is open, surely?
The venue is open as usual. Closed describes who the meeting is for: people with a desire to stop drinking. Family, friends and professionals are asked to visit one of Bristol's open meetings instead.
Is All Saints Church wheelchair accessible?
Yes, the venue has wheelchair access.
Do I need to book a place or bring money?
Neither. AA meetings are free and there is no booking. A voluntary collection is taken to cover rent, but giving is optional, especially for newcomers.
