The Lunch Bunch meets on Thursdays at 12 noon in the Abbey Hall at The Abbey in Romsey, giving the town a friendly daytime meeting that fits inside a lunch break. It lasts an hour, finishing at 1pm. Unlike Romsey's Wednesday evening meeting, this one is open, so anyone may attend: people with a desire to stop drinking, family members and friends wanting to understand more, and professionals whose work touches on alcohol. The Abbey Hall is wheelchair accessible. Daytime meetings tend to be smaller and chattier, which some newcomers find less daunting than a full evening room. As with every AA meeting, it is free, and there is no booking; just walk in shortly before noon.
Can I bring a friend or family member?
Yes. The Lunch Bunch is an open AA meeting, so family, friends and professionals are welcome alongside anyone with a desire to stop drinking.
How long does the meeting last?
One hour, from 12 noon to 1pm on Thursdays, so it works well within a lunch break.
Is the venue accessible and is there a charge?
The Abbey Hall is wheelchair accessible, and the meeting is free with no booking needed.
