On Saturdays at 9am, AA members gather for Portobello at Bellfield (small hall), 16b Bellfield St, Portobello, Edinburgh. It is a closed meeting, kept for AA members and anyone who has a desire to stop drinking, rather than being open to the general public. The venue is wheelchair accessible. Turning up a little before the start and asking for the group by name is the easiest way in. There is no need to bring anything or prepare in advance. The group follows AA's usual pattern of members sharing their own experience, strength and hope.
