About this meeting
Theale Big Book Study meets on Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm in the Kirby Room at St Luke's Roman Catholic Church on Englefield Road, Theale, near Reading, and lasts about an hour. The group works steadily through the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book together, so those attending are asked to bring their own copy if they have one. It is an open meeting, so anyone with an interest, including friends, family and professionals, is welcome alongside those with a desire to stop drinking. The venue is wheelchair accessible, and there is no charge to attend and no need to book a place in advance.
