St Cuthbert's Lunchtime Discussion meets on Tuesdays at 1pm in the Memorial Chapel at St Cuthbert's Church on Lothian Road, in the city centre near Princes Street Gardens. As a discussion meeting, members are free to raise whatever is on their mind and respond to each other's shares, rather than following a set reading. It runs for about an hour, fitting neatly into a lunch break for anyone working nearby. The meeting is closed, so it is for those with a desire to stop drinking, in line with the standard AA requirement. Wheelchair access to the Memorial Chapel has not been confirmed, so it is worth checking ahead if this is important to you.
Who can attend this meeting?
As a closed meeting, attendance is limited to those with a desire to stop drinking, which is AA's only membership requirement. It is not restricted by age, background or how long someone has been sober, and newcomers are actively encouraged to come along.
Is there a cost, and do I need to book a place?
No, it is completely free and there is no need to book or register in advance. Simply arrive for the start time and take a seat; AA meetings run on voluntary donations towards room hire and literature, but nobody is asked to pay to attend.
What does a discussion meeting involve?
Rather than a set reading, members raise topics themselves and respond to one another, so the conversation can range across whatever is affecting the group that day.
