Dawlish

Dawlish holds its weekly AA meeting on Friday evenings at 7.30pm in the Methodist Church Hall on Brunswick Place, running for an hour and a quarter. It is a closed meeting, which sounds forbidding but is not: it means the meeting is reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking, precisely so they can speak freely among others who understand. If that is you, walk straight in. The hall is wheelchair accessible. There is no charge, no booking and no paperwork of any kind. For anyone along this stretch of the South Devon coast, it is a steady weekly fixture that many people build the rest of their week around.
