About this meeting

Shanklin Big Book Study takes place on Saturday evenings at 8pm in a room at YMCA Winchester House on Sandown Road, Shanklin, on the Isle of Wight, and runs for around an hour and a half. As the name suggests, the group works through the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book together, reading and discussing passages in turn. This is a members' meeting, restricted to people with a desire to stop drinking, rather than open to the wider public. A chit, or attendance slip, is available for anyone who needs written confirmation for a court, probation or treatment programme. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this venue, so anyone with mobility needs may wish to check ahead.
