About this meeting
Upshire's Thursday night AA meeting is held at the Village Hall on Horseshoe Hill, opposite the Horseshoe pub, near Waltham Abbey. It begins at 8pm and runs for an hour and a half. As an open meeting it welcomes anyone — people questioning their own drinking, relatives, friends and professionals alike. The pub opposite makes the hall straightforward to find on a dark evening. The hall itself is listed as wheelchair accessible. Nothing needs arranging in advance and there is no charge; a voluntary pot is passed round during the meeting, but no one is expected to contribute, and newcomers certainly are not.
Common questions
Do I have to say anything if I come?
No. You can just sit and listen. It is an open meeting, so anyone is welcome, whether or not they have a desire to stop drinking themselves.

The Village Hall is on Horseshoe Hill near Waltham Abbey, directly opposite the Horseshoe pub, which makes a useful landmark.
Is it free, and is there wheelchair access?
