About this meeting
Covent Garden Newcomers Big Book Study takes place on Saturdays at 6.15pm at the Westminster Quaker Meeting House on Hop Gardens, a short walk from Covent Garden itself, and runs for an hour. Aimed particularly at people new to the programme, the group works through the Big Book together, which makes it a gentle way in for anyone still finding their feet. It is an open meeting, welcoming family members, friends and professionals as well as those with a desire to stop drinking. The Quaker Meeting House is wheelchair accessible, and as with all AA meetings there is no charge and no need to reserve a space in advance.
