FROM THE CHAIR OF THE SOUTH WEST REGION OF AA.
1. AA GB 75th Anniversary Convention, 10th - 12th June 2022 Leeds Direct Arena.
Next year will be the 75th anniversary of AA's arrival on these shores, in 1947. To celebrate,
AA GB is hosting a big 3-day convention at the Leeds Direct Arena complex, from Friday
10th to Sunday 12th June 2022. The event has Al-Anon participation and attendance will
include AA members, family, and members of our sister fellowships from throughout UK
and Ireland, from Europe and from further afield.

The largest, most rigorous independent study on Alcoholics Anonymous to date shows that AA can help people get sober, stay sober, drink less, and suffer fewer negative consequences of drinking, all while keeping health care costs down. Watch scientists John Kelly (Harvard/MGH) and Keith Humphreys (Stanford/VA) discuss their findings (published 3/11/20 by the Cochrane Collaborative), with commentary from psychologist Gabrielle Jones.

Watch this 15 minute video on the report.

There is an APPG (all party parliamentary group) set up to look at 12 step recovery. They are having a “National Welcome” service in Westminster on 14th September. It is ticketed and you can apply and find out more on the links below:
