On Friday evenings at 7.30pm, this Alcoholics Anonymous group meets at St Michaels Parish Church on Orton Road in Northern Moor, south Manchester. The meeting lasts an hour and a half and is one of two AA meetings at the church each week, with a sister meeting on Sunday evenings at the same time. It is a closed meeting, which means it is intended for people who have a desire to stop drinking or who are beginning to wonder whether they do; it is not a public or observers' meeting, though newcomers in that position are exactly who it is for. The church is wheelchair accessible, and there is no need to let anyone know you are coming.
I've never been to AA. Can I just turn up?
Yes. Although this is a closed meeting, that only means it is for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking. Newcomers can simply walk in on the night.
Is there a fee or booking system?
No fee and no booking. AA meetings are free, and you can arrive at St Michaels Parish Church shortly before 7.30pm on Friday without any prior arrangement.
Is the church wheelchair accessible?
Yes, the venue is wheelchair accessible. If Friday does not suit, the same group meets on Sundays at 7.30pm.
