About this meeting
Every Monday at 7.30pm, members meet for the Primary Purpose Group, known as PPG, in St Bride's Episcopal Church on Hyndland Road. This is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, so it is for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than an open session for family or professionals. It runs for around an hour and focuses, as its name implies, on AA's primary purpose of carrying the message to those who still suffer. St Bride's is wheelchair accessible and has a hearing loop fitted, so it is well set up for members with mobility or hearing needs. The same church also hosts West End Newcomers midweek.
