About this meeting
Beaminster Big Book Study meets on Saturday evenings at 6.15pm in the Strode Room at St Mary's Church on Church Street, a few miles from Bridport in west Dorset. The meeting works through the AA Big Book, with members reading and sharing on a passage each session. It is a closed meeting, for people with a desire to stop drinking. The Strode Room is wheelchair accessible, so getting in and finding a seat should be straightforward. For AA members in this rural corner of Dorset, a Saturday meeting in Beaminster saves a longer drive into Bridport or Dorchester. There is no cost to attend and no need to book a place, so anyone eligible can simply come along on the night.
