Colchester Lunch is a Monday midday Alcoholics Anonymous meeting at the Cardinal Bourne Institute, 51 Priory Street, starting at 12.30pm and lasting an hour. It is an open meeting, so anyone is welcome, whether you are worried about your own drinking, supporting someone else, or a professional wanting to understand how AA works. A lunchtime meeting like this suits people who cannot get to evening groups, and the one-hour format means you can realistically attend within a working lunch break. The Institute is wheelchair accessible. If Mondays do not work for you, a companion lunchtime meeting is held at the same venue on Tuesdays. There is no cost, no booking and no expectation to speak; listening is enough.
Can I fit this meeting into a lunch break?
That is exactly what it is designed for. It starts at 12.30pm and lasts one hour, finishing at 1.30pm, so many people attend during a working lunch.
Is it free, and do I need to book?
Yes, it is free, and no booking is needed. AA meetings never charge and never require an appointment. Just turn up at the Cardinal Bourne Institute on Priory Street.
Who is welcome at this meeting?
Everyone. It is an open meeting, so people with a desire to stop drinking, family members, friends and professionals may all attend. The venue is also wheelchair accessible.
