On Monday evenings at 6.30pm, a Big Book Study meeting runs for an hour in Bearsden Baptist Church on Roman Road, complementing the Friday meeting held elsewhere in the town. The format works through Alcoholics Anonymous, the Big Book, reading and discussing a section each week rather than following an open, general discussion. It is closed, for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than a wider audience, and a first visit needs no introduction or invitation. Bearsden Baptist Church is wheelchair accessible. A Monday evening slot gives the week a structured start for anyone in the Bearsden area. There is no charge for attending and no booking process, arriving shortly before 6.30pm is all that is needed.
