About this meeting

New Cross Gate Step & Tradition is a members-only Alcoholics Anonymous meeting held at St James Hatcham Church on Saturday evenings from 7.45pm. Running for an hour and a half, it is one of the longer meetings in the area, giving the group time to work through a step or tradition in some depth. Because it is closed, attendance is limited to those with a desire to stop drinking, which tends to make the sharing more personal. There is no cost to attend and no need to register beforehand; newcomers who qualify are welcome to simply turn up. Wheelchair access at the church has not been confirmed.

Common questions

Can anyone attend this meeting?

No, there is no cost and nothing to book. Anyone who qualifies for a closed meeting can simply turn up shortly before 7.45pm.

Is St James Hatcham Church wheelchair accessible?
