This Sunday evening Big Book study meets at 7pm in the Small School Room at the Unitarian Chapel on Sylvan Grove, Altrincham, and runs for an hour and a half. The group's focus is Alcoholics Anonymous's basic text, the Big Book, read and discussed a passage at a time, which makes it a useful meeting for anyone who wants to understand how the AA programme actually works. It is a closed meeting: that simply means it is for people with a desire to stop drinking, so friends or family looking to learn about AA should pick one of Altrincham's open meetings instead. Attendance is free and nothing needs to be booked. Wheelchair access at this venue has not been confirmed, so it is worth checking before travelling if that matters for you.
