About this meeting
Edinburgh East End also runs on Friday evenings at 6pm, in the same Christadelphian Church building on Gayfield Place used for several other East End sessions during the week. It is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, meaning attendance is for those with a desire to stop drinking rather than the general public. A Friday evening slot can suit people who want to close out the working week with a meeting before the weekend begins. It lasts about an hour, following the pattern of the other East End groups. The building has wheelchair access, so step-free entry is available for members who need it.
Common questions
Can family or friends attend, 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.
Is attendance free and is booking required?
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 there wheelchair access at the venue?
Yes, the Christadelphian Church on Gayfield Place has wheelchair access for this Friday session.
