About this meeting
Redditch Lunchtime offers a midweek daytime option, meeting on Thursdays at 1pm for an hour at Oakenshaw Community Centre on Castleditch Lane. It is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, which simply means it is kept for people who have, or think they might have, a desire to stop drinking; it does not mean the door is shut to newcomers, who are very welcome. The centre is wheelchair accessible, and the one-hour format fits neatly into a lunch break. Nothing needs booking and there is no charge. If you would prefer a meeting where you can bring a friend or family member along for support, the same venue hosts an open meeting on Tuesday evenings at 7.30pm.
Common questions
What does it mean that this is a closed meeting?
Closed means the meeting is reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking, including anyone attending for the first time. It does not mean the meeting is private or unwelcoming; it simply is not aimed at observers or supporters, who are better suited to an open meeting.
Do I need to book or pay to attend?
No. Like all AA meetings it is free, with no booking or referral. Just arrive at Oakenshaw Community Centre before 1pm on a Thursday.
Is there wheelchair access?
Yes, Oakenshaw Community Centre is wheelchair accessible, and the meeting lasts one hour, making it manageable within a lunch break.
