About this meeting
Derby's Saturday evening meeting is held at the Friends Meeting House, 56 St Helens Street, a few minutes' walk from the city centre, starting at 6pm and running for an hour and a half. It is an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, so everyone is welcome, whether you want to stop drinking, you are supporting someone who does, or you attend in a professional capacity. The Meeting House is wheelchair accessible, and the group operates a chit system, signing attendance slips for court, probation or treatment evidence. There is no charge and nothing to book. An early Saturday evening slot leaves the rest of the night free while still steadying the weekend.
