About this meeting

Dover Beginners takes place on Friday evenings at 7pm at St Paul's RC Church, 103 Maison Dieu Road, and lasts an hour and a half. The meeting is geared to people at the very start of recovery, so the format assumes no prior knowledge of AA. It is open, meaning anyone can attend — including family or friends who want to support someone, or simply to understand what happens at a meeting. The church is listed as wheelchair accessible. There is no cost, no paperwork and no booking; arriving a few minutes early gives you a chance to say hello, though you can also just sit and listen.

Common questions

I'm brand new to AA — will I be out of my depth?

No. This is a beginners meeting, so the format assumes no prior knowledge, and you can simply listen if you prefer.

Who else can attend?

It is an open meeting, so family, friends and professionals are welcome alongside people with a desire to stop drinking.

Is it free, and is the church accessible?

Yes to both. There is no charge or booking, and St Paul's RC Church is listed as wheelchair accessible.
