Hey Des,
Congrats on the quiz – you always win – its a great hobby for you. Why don’t you call Intergroup and explain your situation to them. AA, OA etc. always has to pay for the rental of the room, even if noone shows up. Discuss this meeting of yours with the Intergroup people and see if they can help you in any way – they are the experts.

I mentioned it to the Armagh meeting and the other Man who attended; who runs the Meeting at Newry; said it has to go through Intergroup. Problem for me is that Intergroup convenes when I have to take Gran to Mass. I told them I’ll see what I can do.

Otherwise I enjoyed my Day. I took Gran to Homebase and Tesco in Cookstown, then after the Armagh meeting drove to The Loup (A Village in County Derry about 8 Miles from where I live) for a Quiz in aid of the Haiti Appeal; which my team won by 4 or 5 Points. I gave the Prize; a Bottle of White Wine; to Gran.

I have my first cup of tea in my hand … breakfast time over here.

I am raising it to ‘More meetings and more members!’

Every single thing starts off somewhere. Keep publicising it through local newspapers and radio.

Ask the person who attended to let others know.

See if you can put a sign up in cafe windows who support community events.
