About this meeting

Derby Chellaston Big Book meets on Sunday evenings at 6pm at Chellaston Community Centre on Barley Croft, in the Chellaston suburb on the southern edge of Derby. Over one hour, the group reads from the Big Book, the basic text of Alcoholics Anonymous, and members share how its programme works in their day-to-day sobriety. It is a closed meeting, an AA term meaning it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking; anyone who wants to stop is welcome without invitation or referral. The community centre is wheelchair accessible. There is no charge and nothing to book, making it a quiet, practical way to end the week.
