Women In Sobriety Big Book Study is a Saturday lunchtime AA meeting for women, held at Market Harborough Congregational Church on Bowden Lane from 12 noon for an hour and a half. Enter through the glass doors on the Bowden Lane side, go up the stairs, and the Ashley Room is on the right. Pay-and-display parking is available to the rear of the church. The group studies the Big Book together, it is listed as an open meeting, and hearing support provision is available. A chit system operates, so attendance slips can be signed for court, probation or treatment evidence. The meeting is free, with no booking, and newcomers need no knowledge of the book.
Is this meeting for women only?
It is a women's Big Book study, so the meeting is built around women in recovery. It is listed as open, and no previous experience of AA or the Big Book is needed.
How do I find the room and where can I park?
Parking is at the rear of the church (pay and display). Go through the glass doors on the Bowden Lane entrance and up the stairs; the Ashley Room is on the right.
Can attendance be evidenced, and is there a cost?
The group runs a chit system, so slips can be signed for court, probation or treatment services. The meeting itself is free, with hearing support provision at the venue.
