About this meeting

Thursday lunchtimes bring West End to the 12 Palmerston Place address at 1pm, a shorter hour-long session for members wanting a midday meeting rather than waiting for the evening. It sits within a wider pattern of West End meetings running most days of the week at Palmerston Place Church, reflecting steady demand in this part of the city. Attendance is limited to those with a desire to stop drinking, as is standard for closed AA meetings, and newcomers fitting that description are welcome to attend. Wheelchair access for this particular address and time has not been confirmed, so check ahead if this is important to you.

Common questions

Who can attend this lunchtime meeting?

This is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, which means it is for anyone with a desire to stop drinking rather than open to the general public. Newcomers are welcome as long as that describes them, including people early in sobriety or simply exploring whether AA is for them.

Do I need to book, or is there a charge?

There is no charge and no booking system. You can turn up on the day without contacting anyone beforehand. A basket is usually passed round for voluntary donations to cover the room hire, but paying is never a condition of attending.

Is the venue wheelchair accessible?

This has not been confirmed for this address, so it is worth contacting the group directly if step-free access is needed.
