About this meeting

Exeter's Thursday meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous takes place at the Palace Gate Centre, 3 Palace Gate, at 7.30pm and lasts an hour. It is a closed meeting, AA's term for a meeting kept for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking; it does not mean the doors are locked, and anyone worried about their own drinking will be made welcome. The venue is wheelchair accessible and is also listed as accessible for people with hearing difficulties. A chit system operates, so attendance slips can be signed for court, probation or treatment purposes. There is no cost and no booking required; simply arrive a little before the start.

Common questions

Can I attend a closed meeting as a newcomer?

Yes, if you have, or think you might have, a desire to stop drinking. Closed only means the meeting is reserved for people in that position rather than for family, friends or observers.

What accessibility does the venue have?

The Palace Gate Centre is wheelchair accessible and is also listed as accessible for people with hearing difficulties.

Is there proof of attendance for court or probation?

Yes. A chit system operates at this meeting, so a member can sign a slip confirming you attended. The meeting itself is free with no booking.
