Sandhurst Early Risers meets on Saturdays at 8am, also at Sandhurst and Yateley Methodist Church on Scotland Hill, ahead of the later Newcomers meeting at the same venue. True to its name, this closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting suits members who prefer to start their weekend early, and is for those who feel they have a desire to stop drinking rather than open to the wider public. The church is recorded as wheelchair accessible, and a chit system operates here, so a signed attendance slip can be provided for court, probation or treatment purposes. There is no cost to attend and no booking system for the 8am start.
Who can come to this meeting
This is a closed meeting, meaning it is for AA members only, in other words anyone who feels they have a desire to stop drinking. It is not open to friends, family or professionals who want to observe.
Does it cost anything or do I need to book a place
No. Alcoholics Anonymous meetings are free and there is no need to book or register in advance. You can simply arrive for the start time.
Can I get proof of attendance for court or probation
Yes, a chit system operates here, so a slip confirming your attendance can be signed by the meeting for court, probation or treatment purposes.
