About this meeting
Margate 12 & 12 meets on Monday evenings at 7.45pm at St Johns Community Centre, beside St Johns Church on Victoria Road, and lasts an hour and a quarter. The name refers to Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, the AA book the group studies, working through the programme a chapter at a time. It is a closed meeting, meaning it is kept for people who have a desire to stop drinking; newcomers count, and need no knowledge of the book, but family and friends should pick one of Margate's several open meetings at the same centre. The community centre is wheelchair accessible. The meeting is free, with no booking or referral needed.
