Sunday evenings at 6pm, Edinburgh Tribe Within The Tribe meets at The Crannie on Cranston Street, in the Old Town near the Cowgate. It runs for about an hour and, as a closed AA meeting, is intended for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than being open to all comers. The name suggests a focus on connection and belonging within the wider AA fellowship, though the precise meeting format has not been specified. Anyone new to the programme who meets the closed meeting requirement is welcome to attend. Wheelchair access to The Crannie has not been confirmed, so it is worth checking with the group beforehand if that matters to you.
Who can attend Tribe Within The Tribe?
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 it free to attend, and should I book a place?
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 Crannie wheelchair accessible?
This has not been confirmed for the venue, so it would be worth contacting the group in advance if step-free access is needed.
