Hastings Big Book meets every Wednesday at 11am in the Upstairs Room at the Friends Meeting House on South Terrace. As the name indicates, the meeting takes place upstairs, so anyone with mobility needs should be aware that stairs are involved before planning to attend. The meeting works through the AA Big Book, with a passage read and discussed each session. It is a closed meeting, for people with a desire to stop drinking. Chits are available for anyone who needs a signed record of attendance for court, probation or treatment purposes. South Terrace sits within reach of Hastings town centre. There is no cost to attend and no need to book a place beforehand, so anyone eligible can simply arrive on the morning.
