About this meeting
Every Monday evening at 7.30, Notting Hill Step One Newcomers Chips meets in the room above the Farm Girl Café on Portobello Road, a short walk from Notting Hill Gate tube. The meeting is open, so anyone can attend, whether they are newly considering a desire to stop drinking or simply want to understand more about AA. As the name suggests, the focus is on Step One and short chairs from members with more experience, making it a good starting point for people early in recovery. It runs for around an hour. The room is reached by stairs and wheelchair access has not been confirmed. Portobello Road's market street setting means the area is well lit and busy in the evenings, with good transport links nearby.
