Every Monday at 6pm, the Seaham Multi-Group Big Book Study gathers at St John's Church on Blandford Place for an hour and a half of structured reading and discussion. As a Big Book study, the meeting works through Alcoholics Anonymous's core text, which makes it a good place to understand how the programme actually works, whether you are brand new or have been sober for years. It is an open meeting, so family, friends and anyone curious about AA are welcome alongside members. The church is wheelchair accessible, and the group runs a chit system, signing attendance slips for court, probation or treatment purposes. It is free, there is no booking, and listening without speaking is always fine.
