Getting there
Before you go
This meeting is held on the first Sunday of each month only.
About this meeting
An early start and a monthly rhythm set this Princes Risborough group apart: the Big Book meeting is held at 7.30am on the first Sunday of each month only, at the Literary Institute & Snooker Club, 37 High Street. The hour is spent with Alcoholics Anonymous, the book known in the fellowship as the Big Book, from which AA takes its programme. It is a closed meeting, meaning it is for people who have, or suspect they have, a desire to stop drinking; those supporting someone else are asked to try an open meeting. There is no charge and no booking, but do check your calendar carefully, as arriving on the wrong Sunday will find the room empty.
Common questions
Is this meeting really only once a month?
Yes. It meets on the first Sunday of each month only, at 7.30am, so it is worth double-checking the date before setting out.
Who can attend?
It is a closed AA meeting, for people who have or may have a desire to stop drinking. Family, friends and professionals are welcome at open AA meetings instead.
Do I need to book, and is there a cost?
No booking and no cost. Just arrive at the Literary Institute & Snooker Club on the High Street before 7.30am on the first Sunday of the month.
