About this meeting

Ripley Back To Basics gathers every Monday at 7.30pm at the Methodist Church on Wood Street in Ripley, Derbyshire, for an hour and a half. As the name suggests, the emphasis is on the fundamentals of the Alcoholics Anonymous programme, which makes it a sensible first meeting for anyone new to AA as well as a refresher for longer-standing members. It is an open meeting: you can attend whether you are concerned about your own drinking or supporting somebody else, and professionals are welcome too. The church is wheelchair accessible. Meetings are free, with no booking, referral or paperwork, and turning up a few minutes early on the night is all it takes.
