About this meeting
Flitwick's Big Book discussion meeting is held on Thursday evenings at 7pm in the Stocksfield Room at The Rufus Centre on Steppingley Road, and lasts an hour. Each week the group takes a passage from Alcoholics Anonymous, the fellowship's basic text, and discusses it, grounding recovery in the book rather than opinion. It is a closed meeting, meaning it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking, or who think they might; that is the only requirement, and listening quietly is completely fine. Relatives and friends should seek out an open meeting. The Rufus Centre is wheelchair accessible. There is no cost and no booking, serving Flitwick, Ampthill and the villages between Bedford and Luton.
