About this meeting
Paisley Back To Basics meets on Saturday afternoons at one o'clock in The Tannahill Centre on Blackstoune Road, and keeps to a tighter hour rather than the usual ninety minutes. As the name suggests, it's aimed at returning to the fundamentals of the programme rather than more open-ended discussion. It's a closed meeting, for people with a desire to stop drinking under AA's Third Tradition, rather than open to friends, family or professionals. The Tannahill Centre has wheelchair access. There's no cost involved and nothing to book ahead of time: people typically arrive shortly before one o'clock, take a seat in the centre, and the meeting runs to its full hour.
