1st Friday each month Step mtg & last FridayTraditions mtg
Thornbury Hope meets on Friday evenings at 7.30pm at Thornbury Methodist Church Hall, 4 High Street, in the market town north of Bristol, and lasts an hour. The format varies through the month: the first Friday is a step meeting and the last Friday a traditions meeting, with the group's usual format in between, so regulars get a rounded diet of AA's programme over any given month. It is an open meeting, so anyone is welcome, including family, friends and professionals as well as people with a desire to stop drinking. The hall is wheelchair accessible. There is no charge and nothing to book; just walk in a few minutes before the start.
