About this meeting
On Tuesday evenings, Leighton Buzzard Big Book meets at 8pm at Astral Park Community Centre on Johnson Drive, an hour-long AA meeting built around study of the Big Book, the core text of Alcoholics Anonymous. It is a closed meeting, which means it is reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking; that includes complete newcomers, who do not need to be members or to have read a word of the book beforehand. Family members or professionals wanting to observe should look for an open meeting nearby. As with every AA meeting, it is free, there is no booking, and you will not be asked to speak if you would rather listen. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed.
Common questions
I'm new to AA. Can I come to this closed meeting?
Yes. Closed simply means the meeting is for people with a desire to stop drinking, and that fully includes newcomers. It is family, friends and observers who should choose an open meeting instead.
Is there any cost or booking involved?
No. The meeting is free and there is nothing to book. Arrive at Astral Park Community Centre on Johnson Drive shortly before 8pm on Tuesday.
Is Astral Park Community Centre wheelchair accessible?
