About this meeting

Staple Hill Step & Tradition meets on Thursday evenings at 7.30pm at Pendennis Evangelical Church on Pendennis Road, Staple Hill, in north-east Bristol. Each week the hour-long meeting takes one of AA's Twelve Steps or Twelve Traditions as its subject, working steadily through the programme and the principles that hold groups together. It is a closed meeting, which means it is reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking; family, friends and professionals are asked to attend one of Bristol's open meetings instead. The church is wheelchair accessible. For Staple Hill, Downend, Fishponds and Kingswood residents, it offers structured study of the programme without a journey into the city centre.

Common questions

What does closed mean, and can I still come?

Closed means the meeting is for people concerned about their own drinking rather than for observers. If you have, or suspect you have, a desire to stop drinking, you are welcome, including as a complete newcomer.

Is the church wheelchair accessible?

Yes, Pendennis Evangelical Church has wheelchair access.

Do I need to book or pay anything?

No. The meeting is free with no booking. A voluntary collection is taken for room hire, and giving is optional.
