Sharing Experience, Strength & Hope meets on Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm at Richmond Methodist Church on Queens Road, in the North Yorkshire market town of Richmond. The name comes from AA's own description of what happens in its rooms: members sharing their experience, strength and hope so they may solve their common problem. It lasts an hour and is a closed meeting, meaning it is kept for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking; newcomers fit that description and are very welcome. The church is wheelchair accessible, and a chit system operates, so attendance slips can be signed for court, probation or treatment purposes. There is no cost and no booking needed.
Can I come if I am not sure about my drinking?
Yes. Closed meetings are for anyone with a desire to stop drinking, including people who only suspect they may have one. You will be made welcome.
Can attendance be confirmed for court or probation?
Yes. The group operates a chit system and can sign a slip confirming your attendance for court, probation or a treatment programme.
Is the church wheelchair accessible?
Yes, Richmond Methodist Church on Queens Road is wheelchair accessible. The meeting is free and there is no booking.
