On the First Friday of every month, the Wareham AA group holds an open meeting. We are changing the format.

Starting in September, the open meeting format will be a speaker meeting, with two or three visiting AA members from another group sharing their experience, strength and hope.
There will be open invitations to all local people, whether professionally or personally interested, to attend and find out what Alcoholics Anonymous is about.

Two of the Weymouth AA Groups are seeking a new home.

Weymouth Wednesday and Weymouth Sunday, who both meet at Horizon's in Cromwell Road Weymouth have been given notice as the building is closing.
The last meetings at this venue will be on 17th and 21st August respectively.

Details of the new venue(s) will be posted as soon as possible.

Don't forget that the deadline for questions is 31st August!
