About this meeting
Long Eaton Little Big Book meets every Wednesday at 7.30pm at St Johns Church on Canal Street in Long Eaton, between Derby and Nottingham. The name points to its format: the group works with AA's Big Book, the core text of Alcoholics Anonymous, over a session lasting an hour and a half. It is an open meeting, so you are welcome whether you want to stop drinking yourself or are a family member, friend or professional wanting to understand more. The church is wheelchair accessible. No money changes hands to attend and there is no booking system; people simply arrive a few minutes before the start and take a seat.
