About this meeting
Serving Southminster and the Burnham-on-Crouch area, Keep It Simple meets on Tuesdays at 7pm at Southminster Memorial Hall on the High Street, lasting one hour. It is an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, so anyone may attend, including family, friends and professionals. One practical point worth knowing: this group operates a chit system, meaning the secretary can sign an attendance slip if you need evidence of attending for a court, probation or treatment requirement. Ask at the end of the meeting and it is handled discreetly. The Memorial Hall is wheelchair accessible. For the villages of the Dengie peninsula this is valuable local provision, saving a long trip to Maldon or Chelmsford. Free, no booking.
