Carlisle Big Book Study meets on Sunday evenings at 7.30pm in St Aidan's Church Hall on Warwick Road, running for an hour and a quarter. As the name suggests, the format centres on reading and discussing passages from the AA Big Book together. It is an open meeting, so anyone is welcome, including people wanting to learn more about AA on behalf of a family member or friend with a desire to stop drinking. Wheelchair accessibility at St Aidan's Church Hall has not been confirmed, so it is worth checking ahead if this affects you. There is no cost to attend and no booking required, in keeping with AA meetings generally.
Do I need to bring my own copy of the Big Book?
It helps but is not essential, as the meeting is open to anyone wanting to join the discussion.
Is the meeting free and do I need to book?
Yes, it is free, and there is no booking required.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
This has not been confirmed, so it is best to check with the group beforehand if you need step-free access.
