Ipswich Big Book meets every Monday at 7.15pm for around an hour and a quarter at Museum St Methodist Church, using the entrance on Black Horse Lane. It's a closed AA meeting, for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than family, friends, or visiting professionals. As the name suggests, the format centres on reading and discussing the Big Book together, giving both newcomers and long-standing members a shared text to work from. A chit system operates here, so attendance can be signed off for anyone needing evidence for court, probation, or treatment. The church is wheelchair accessible. There is no charge to attend and no booking required, so anyone who fits the closed-meeting criteria can simply come along.
