About this meeting
Dr Bob & The Good Old Timers is one of the regular Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in Ayr, held every Thursday at 7.30pm at 8 Green Street Lane. It takes its name partly from Dr Bob, one of AA's co-founders. It lasts an hour and a half. The fellowship's sole requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking, which is all anyone needs to walk through the door. Meetings are free to attend, and nothing needs to be arranged beforehand, so newcomers can just come along. The postcode for the venue is KA8 8BE.
