About this meeting
Aveley Big Book Study meets every Monday at 6.30pm at Aveley Community Hub on the High Street. The meeting is built around the AA Big Book, with members reading a passage and sharing their own experience of it, giving newcomers a structured way into the programme. It is a closed meeting, kept for those with a desire to stop drinking. The Community Hub is wheelchair accessible. Aveley sits just outside South Ockendon in this part of Essex close to the Thames, and the Monday evening slot gives local members a way to start the week with a meeting. There is no cost to attend and no need to book beforehand, so anyone who fits the closed meeting criteria is welcome to come along.
