About this meeting

Sawmills is a Friday night Alcoholics Anonymous meeting at Sawmills Village Hall on Ripley Road, in the small village of Sawmills between Belper and Ripley. It starts at 7.30pm and lasts an hour and a half. This is an open meeting, so as well as people who want to stop drinking it welcomes family, friends and anyone wanting to learn how AA works. The village hall is wheelchair accessible. There is no charge to attend and nothing to arrange beforehand; you can simply come along on the night. The same group also holds a Tuesday lunchtime meeting at the hall, which can be handy if Fridays are difficult.
