About this meeting

Held on Friday evenings at 7pm in Our Lady Immaculate Church Hall on Seamoor Road in Westbourne, Bournemouth Big Book Step is an hour-long Alcoholics Anonymous meeting built around the Big Book, AA's core text, and the Steps it describes. This is a closed meeting, which means it is reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking; it is not a meeting for observers, but it absolutely is a meeting for newcomers, including those still drinking and unsure what they want. The hall is wheelchair accessible. Westbourne sits between Bournemouth and Poole, so the meeting draws people from both directions. As with all AA meetings there is no charge, no booking and no register taken.

Common questions

The meeting is listed as closed. Am I allowed to come?

If you have any desire to stop drinking, yes. Closed simply means the meeting is kept for people dealing with their own drinking rather than visitors or observers. Newcomers are always welcome.

What is a Big Book meeting?

The group reads from Alcoholics Anonymous, known as the Big Book, and members share on the passage and the Steps. It is a good way to learn the programme itself. Copies are available at meetings.

Is there wheelchair access and any cost?

The hall at 33 Seamoor Road, Westbourne (BH4 9AE) is listed as wheelchair accessible, and attendance is completely free with no booking needed.
