About this meeting
Hove Afternoon Keep It Simple meets on Wednesdays at 3pm at the Methodist Church on Portland Road in Hove, running for a generous hour and a half. It is an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, so anyone can attend, including partners, relatives, friends and professionals who want to understand what AA does. The church is wheelchair accessible. If you need to show that you attended, perhaps for court, probation or a treatment programme, the group operates a chit system and a member will sign a slip for you. Like all AA meetings it is free, and a mid-afternoon start makes it a useful option if evenings are difficult for you.
