About this meeting
A members-only Alcoholics Anonymous meeting runs on Wednesday lunchtimes at 1pm in the Catholic Chaplaincy, based at The Old Palace on Rose Place, just off St Aldates in Oxford city centre, and it lasts about an hour. Being members-only, it is for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than family, friends or professionals attending to observe, though those unsure whether it applies to them are welcome to ask beforehand. The Old Palace is wheelchair accessible. Its location close to Christ Church and the city centre makes it a convenient midday option for members working nearby, distinct from the lunchtime meetings held a short walk away at St Michael's and The Coach House.
