About this meeting
On Tuesday mornings at 11.30, Paignton As Bill Sees It meets at Paignton Baptist Church, 43 Winner Street, a few minutes from the town centre. The hour-long meeting works from As Bill Sees It, the anthology of short readings by AA's co-founder, so each week brings a different theme to share around. It is a closed meeting, meaning attendance is for people who have, or suspect they have, a desire to stop drinking; nobody checks, and newcomers are welcomed rather than questioned. The church has wheelchair access. Attendance costs nothing and there is no booking, making a midweek morning meeting a realistic option for anyone whose evenings are spoken for.

Yes, Paignton Baptist Church at 43 Winner Street has wheelchair access, and the meeting is free with no booking.
