About this meeting

Keep It Simple meets early on Friday evenings, at 5.30pm, in The Hut on Chestnut Grove in Ushaw Moor, a village a few miles west of Durham city. The hour-long slot before most people's evening plans begin makes it a useful start to the weekend for anyone trying to stay away from a drink on a Friday night. This is a closed AA meeting, which means it is intended for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking, rather than for observers or supporters; newcomers in that position are very welcome and do not need to say anything on a first visit. The Hut is wheelchair accessible, and as with every AA meeting there is no charge and no booking.
