About this meeting

This Maidstone Big Book Study meets at midday on Tuesdays, using the side entrance of Life Church on Brewer Street, and runs for an hour and a half over the lunch period. It is an open meeting, so anyone can attend, whether they have a desire to stop drinking or simply want to understand more about Alcoholics Anonymous, including family, friends and professionals. The group works through the Big Book together, offering a steadier, more structured session than some evening meetings built around open sharing. A chit system is available for anyone who needs attendance signed for court, probation or treatment. Wheelchair access at this venue has not been confirmed, so it is worth checking beforehand if needed.
