Getting there
About this meeting
Sydenham Big Book Study takes place on Thursday evenings at 7pm in the House Hall Meeting Room at The Grove Centre on Jews Walk in Lewisham. The session runs for about an hour and works through Alcoholics Anonymous's core text, giving regulars a steady way to revisit the book's chapters and stories over time. It is a closed meeting, for those with a desire to stop drinking rather than an open session for family or professional observers. There is no cost and no need to book a place; you can simply arrive a few minutes before 7pm. Wheelchair access at The Grove Centre has not been confirmed, so it is worth checking with the group beforehand if that is important to you.
