About this meeting

Bring Your Own Big Book, known as BYOBB, meets on Thursday evenings at 7.30pm at the Canal Club Community Centre on Belmont Wharf, Waterloo Gardens, beside the Regent's Canal in Bethnal Green. The hour-long format is a selected Big Book reading followed by raised-voice sharing, and the group describes itself as an open meeting with all welcome, so bring your own copy of the Big Book if you have one. Attendance slips can be signed for anyone needing evidence for court, probation or a treatment programme. No dogs are allowed at the venue, and wheelchair access has not been confirmed. As with all AA meetings, it is free with no booking.

Common questions

Do I need to bring a Big Book?

The group encourages people to bring their own copy, hence the name, but do not let the lack of one stop you coming; you can follow the reading and simply listen on a first visit.

Can the group sign court or probation paperwork?

Yes. This meeting signs attendance slips, or chits, which serve as evidence of attendance for courts, probation and treatment services. Speak to the secretary when you arrive.

Is there anything else I should know before attending?

The group describes the meeting as open, with all welcome. No dogs are allowed at the Canal Club, wheelchair access has not been confirmed, and the meeting is free with no booking, running 7.30pm to 8.30pm on Thursdays.
