About this meeting

Reading Big Book Study takes place on Tuesday evenings at 7.45pm in English Martyrs Catholic Church on Leibenrood Road, opposite Prospect Park, and lasts about an hour and a half. The group works steadily through the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book together, reading passages aloud and discussing what they mean in practice. It is an open meeting, so anyone with an interest in the fellowship is welcome, including friends, family and professionals alongside those with a desire to stop drinking. The church is wheelchair accessible, and there is no charge and no need to book a place; newcomers are welcome to bring a Big Book if they have one, though it is not essential.
