Every Monday at 6pm, the Christadelphian Church on Gayfield Place in Edinburgh hosts the Early Evening AA meeting, a closed group for those with a desire to stop drinking. Meeting straight after the working day, it gives members a chance to check in before the evening gets away from them. The format is not specified beyond the closed status, but like most closed AA meetings it will typically combine some structured reading with open sharing among those present. The session runs for about an hour. The church building has wheelchair access, so getting into the venue should not be a barrier for anyone with mobility needs.
Can anyone attend Edinburgh Early Evening, or is it members only?
As a closed meeting, attendance is limited to those with a desire to stop drinking, which is AA's only membership requirement. It is not restricted by age, background or how long someone has been sober, and newcomers are actively encouraged to come along.
Do I need to book a place or pay to attend?
No, it is completely free and there is no need to book or register in advance. Simply arrive for the start time and take a seat; AA meetings run on voluntary donations towards room hire and literature, but nobody is asked to pay to attend.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
Yes, the Christadelphian Church on Gayfield Place has wheelchair access, which is worth knowing if step-free entry matters to you.
