About this meeting
On Saturday evenings, Southampton Bitterne holds its second weekly meeting at 7.30pm at Bitterne United Reformed Church, found in Bitterne Precinct above Iceland in Bitterne Village, SO18 5EF. Lasting an hour and a half, it is an open meeting, so anyone may attend, whether for their own drinking or in support of someone else, and Saturday night is a time when a meeting can matter most. The church is wheelchair accessible and has provision for people with hearing difficulties. A chit system operates for those who need attendance confirmed for court, probation or a treatment programme. There is no cost and no booking; the Wednesday meeting at the same venue makes a natural midweek companion.
