About this meeting

Romford Chair meets on Tuesday evenings at 7.30pm at the United Reformed Church on Western Road, close to Romford town centre, and lasts an hour and a quarter. The chair format means a member tells their own story of drinking and recovery, after which others share, so a newcomer can pass the whole meeting simply listening to lives that may sound uncomfortably familiar. It is an open meeting: anyone is welcome, including family members, friends and professionals. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this venue, so check locally if that is essential. There is no charge, no booking and no paperwork; arriving shortly before 7.30pm is the only arrangement you need to make.

Common questions

Can I bring my partner or a friend?

Yes. Romford Chair is an open AA meeting, so family, friends and professionals are welcome alongside anyone with a desire to stop drinking.

What happens at a chair meeting?

One member chairs by sharing their story at length, then others share briefly. Newcomers are never required to speak.

Do I need to book, and what does it cost?

No booking and no cost. Just arrive at the United Reformed Church on Western Road before 7.30pm on a Tuesday.
