About this meeting

Emsworth Big Book Discussion meets on Saturday mornings at Emsworth Baptist Church on North Street, starting at 10am and running for about an hour. As the name suggests, this open meeting centres on discussion of the AA Big Book, and welcomes anyone with an interest in Alcoholics Anonymous, including family and friends, alongside members. Wheelchair access at the church has not been confirmed, so anyone with mobility needs may wish to check with the group beforehand. No newcomer chit is recorded for this meeting. A weekend morning slot gives people with a desire to stop drinking a way to start the day with reading and shared discussion before the rest of Saturday gets underway.
