East Grinstead's Friday night AA meeting takes place at 7.30pm in Our Lady & St Peter's RC Church Hall on London Road, and runs for an hour and a half. It is what AA calls a closed meeting, which simply means it is kept for people who have a desire to stop drinking, or who think they might; family and friends supporting someone are better suited to one of the area's open meetings. The hall is wheelchair accessible. The group can also sign attendance slips for anyone who needs evidence of attendance for court, probation or a treatment programme. There is nothing to book and nothing to pay; just arrive a few minutes before the start.
Who can attend the East Grinstead Friday AA meeting?
This is a closed meeting, meaning it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking, or who are wondering whether they might. You do not need to be sure, and you do not need to say anything. Friends and family who want to observe are better served by an open AA meeting.
How much does it cost and do I need to book?
AA meetings are always free and there is no booking or registration. A voluntary collection is passed round for members who wish to contribute towards rent and refreshments, but nobody has to give anything.
Is the venue accessible, and can I get proof of attendance?
Yes, Our Lady & St Peter's RC Church Hall is wheelchair accessible. The group also operates a chit system, so the secretary can sign an attendance slip if you need evidence for court, probation or a treatment provider.
