About this meeting

Book Study With A Twist gives Brightlingsea's corner of the Colchester area an early-evening meeting on Wednesdays, from 5.30pm to 7pm at The Parish Hall on Victoria Place. The group studies AA literature, with the twist in how they approach it keeping the format a little livelier than a straight read-through. It is an open meeting, so anyone is welcome, including family, friends and professionals as well as anyone with a desire to stop drinking. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this venue, so check locally if step-free entry is essential. There is no cost and no booking; the 5.30pm start makes it manageable before evening commitments take over.
