About this meeting

Reading Lunchtime As Bill Sees It meets on Thursdays at 12.30pm in Greyfriars Church on Friar Street, and lasts about an hour, offering a midday option for those working or otherwise unable to attend in the evening. The group reads from the As Bill Sees It book of daily reflections before sharing on what the passage means for their own desire to stop drinking. This is a members' meeting, kept for people with that desire rather than open to the general public. The church is wheelchair accessible. There is no charge to attend and no need to book a place; those who qualify can simply arrive shortly before half past twelve.
