About this meeting
Harrogate How It Works meets on Thursday evenings upstairs at the Friends Meeting House on Queen Parade, starting at 8pm and running for an hour. The meeting takes its name from the chapter of the Big Book traditionally read aloud at the start of AA meetings, and often uses it as the basis for discussion that follows. It is an open meeting, so members, visitors and newcomers can all attend. Wheelchair access is not specified for this venue, and as the room is upstairs, anyone with access needs may wish to check with the group beforehand.
