About this meeting

On Sunday mornings, Chatham Big Book Study brings people together at The Emmaus Church Centre on Clover Street from 11am. This is an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, so it welcomes anyone with a desire to stop drinking alongside family, friends and other interested visitors. Over the ninety-minute session, the group works through passages from the Big Book, discussing the text rather than following an open-sharing format. It suits people who like structure and want to understand the programme's literature in depth, as well as those simply wanting a quiet Sunday start. The centre is in Chatham, close to the town's main routes, though wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this particular venue.
