About this meeting

The Big Book Message For Newcomers is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting held on Thursday evenings at 7pm at The Centre Spot on Oak Street in Oswestry. It is for AA members, people with a desire to stop drinking, rather than an open meeting for the general public, though as the name shows it is aimed particularly at those newer to the programme. The group works through the Big Book with newcomers specifically in mind, keeping explanations of AA's basic ideas close to the surface of the discussion rather than assuming prior familiarity. There is no attendance chit system at this meeting. Wheelchair access to The Centre Spot has not been confirmed.
