About this meeting
Woodley Open meets every Thursday at 7.30pm at Woodley Methodist Church on Chapel Street, just off Hyde Road in the Woodley area of Stockport. Despite the group's name, the Thursday session is listed as a closed meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous, which means it is reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking; the same group's Saturday night meeting at this venue is open to everyone. At an hour and three-quarters, it runs a little longer than many meetings, giving extra room for sharing. The church is wheelchair accessible and has provision for people who are hard of hearing, so getting in and taking part should be straightforward for most.
Common questions
Who can attend the Thursday Woodley Open meeting?
Thursday's session is a closed meeting, so it is for anyone who has, or thinks they may have, a desire to stop drinking. Friends, family and professionals are welcome at open AA meetings instead, including this group's Saturday meeting at the same venue.
Does it cost anything, and do I need to book?
No. Like all AA meetings it is completely free and there is no booking or referral needed. Just arrive at Woodley Methodist Church a few minutes before 7.30pm on a Thursday.
Is the venue accessible?
Yes. The church is wheelchair accessible, and the meeting is listed as having provision for people who are hard of hearing.
