About this meeting

As Bill Sees It meets on Wednesday lunchtimes at 12.45pm in the upstairs room at Sobar Café on Friar Lane, Nottingham, for an hour. Taking its name from the AA book of daily reflections attributed to co-founder Bill W., the meeting typically reads a short passage before opening into general sharing. It is an open meeting, so anyone can attend, whether they have a desire to stop drinking or want to learn more about AA. As the meeting is held upstairs at the café, wheelchair accessibility has not been confirmed, so it is worth checking ahead if stairs would be a problem. The lunchtime slot works well for those on a break from work in the city centre.
