About this meeting
Uppingham Big Book meets on Wednesday evenings at 7pm in the Church Rooms at the Church of St Peter and St Paul, 3 Market Place, in the centre of Uppingham near Oakham; turn left at the church entrance to find the room. As the name suggests, the meeting is built around study of the Big Book, the core text of Alcoholics Anonymous, which makes it a good place to get to grips with how the programme actually works. It is a closed meeting, so it is kept for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking. The meeting runs for a generous hour and a half, is free, needs no booking and the venue is wheelchair accessible.
