All regular volunteers must be AA members with 2 years sobriety, have a sponsor, a home group (in person) and worked the 12 steps.
Visitors (observing or sharing) require 1 year’s sobriety (and the above).

Our Website

News

About the site

As many will know, the old site was launched in May 2011 and after 10 years plus, it was much in need of a refresh both in ‘look and feel’ and technically.  Consequently, on March 10, 2022  we launched an all-new site which addresses both issues.  The new site is  much  newer technology which improves the  adding  and managing of content as well as keeping the site up to date and secure. We believe that most pages will be familiar but also updated with current links and up to date information wherever necessary. All of this ‘slow changing information’ is held in pages, accessed from the menu at the top of each page.  This also gives easy discovery for new visitors and new members. More frequent visitors, primarily engaged AA members, should find navigation, using the Tag Blocks, will give quicker and easier access to fast changing information on meetings and local AA news.

TAGS and Tag Blocks

This is a newer and highly effective way to navigate the site. Most pages will have a Tags Block  as you can see on the right (or below if you are using a phone or tablet).  All the meetings are accessible from the Days Tags at the start of the Tag Block.  These run form ‘1 Sun’ to ‘7 Sat’ and give you complete and fast access to all our meetings on any given day. The tags and categories which they hold will allow  you to find Meetings and News items with ease. So if you are looking for a traditional ( F2F) meeting you just click on the ‘Traditional’  tag and  wherever you are, you will end up on the Meetings and News page with a list of Traditional Meetings (including,  currently 2 Hybrids).  Now entering November 2023 most meetings have reverted to our traditional F2F meeting  but we still have 5 Zooms and 2 Hybrids.  The ‘online’ tag will find the 5 Zooms plus the 2 Hybrids. If you need the latest WTF just click the ‘help’ Tag and then click the link on the WTF post. The same approach will work for Questions for Conference ( QfC) etc. There are tags for the days of the week Sunday to Saturday. These will give you all the meetings for the respective day.  Just have a play and see what you can find and one last thing: for visitors checking for wheelchair access, please use the ‘access tag’ in the Tags Block on the right or at the bottom if using a phone.

Categories

If you wanted to see all News Posts then select ‘News’  from Categories dropdown.  The categories will also tell you how many Meetings, News item etc that we currently have. If you want all the Intergroup news click the ‘dcig’ Category.

Tags and Categories help us to find information which changes more frequently to that on pages.

News Ticker

Latest news and meetings changes will appear on the Latest News ‘Ticker’ on the Welcome  and the Resources pages.

And Don’t Forget to try the Search – Its awesome.

The NHS have some interesting data on the impact of Alcoholism. Just type ‘NHS’ and see where you end up!

Devon Central Intergroup March 2022

 

LATEST WTF 2026 Q3 Edition

The Newcomers Public Edition

Both  editions of  the WTF  (Where To Find an AA meeting) were sent to the printers in time for  the Q3 2026 Intergroup Meeting on Sunday 9th August 2026 at:

Park Life Centre
Whipton Lane,
Heavitree  EX1 3DN
https://parklifeheavitree.org.uk/

Sunday Parking is free. Buses on Fore Street stop just near the Whipton Lane turn – a few minutes walk from the Centre.
Please try to arrive 10.30-10.45 for a prompt start, so we can finish at 1pm.

The current revision date is now 09/08/26  The public edition is available now, as a pdf download: On This Link.  Please Note that the revision date of the download may be later than the print run date.

The revision date above indicates that all meetings changes received in the EComm email (ecomm.devonc@aamail.org) by that date have been applied to the online WTF.  These may not all be reflected in the printed WTF as each print run is confirmed in advance of the quarterly DCIG meetings.

The Members  Edition PDF

The Members (Confidential) PDF Edition is also kept up to date and available on request by email.  Just email your request to the EComm email:  (ecomm.devonc@aamail.org)

Continuous Updates

These PDF copies are continuously updated as changes are sent to the EComm email. So, downloading the Public Copy from the website or requesting the Members Copy and printing it or keeping it on your phone will give you the latest WTF meeting details.

Updates to printed WTF

Any amendments to your meeting or group details to be included in the next paper WTF need to reach me (email: ecomm.devonc@aamail.org) AT LEAST 10 DAYS (latest) BEFORE
THE NEXT DCIG MEETING to allow the printer time to check, print and return the paper
versions for our meeting

Meetings Summary

In both WTF editions, there is a separate section for Zooms. This Online section lists both Zoom meetings and the Zoom details for any Hybrid meetings. Currently, we have 6 Online Meetings (1 Hybrid and 5 Zooms). There are 36 traditional meetings. So, we have a total of 36 (Trads and Hybrids) plus 5 Zoom only, for a total of 41 meetings.

Print Your Own Copy or Keep it on your Mobile

The downloadable pdf is a colour edition but will print very well in black and white. If you have a printer which can print on both sides, you can make a very decent WTF either in colour or B&W.  This PDF can also be kept on a mobile and use the mobile ‘zoom in’ to read it.

See Link for ‘How-To’.

Officer Changes, Meeting Updates & The Pink Form

For the Website and WTF

Meeting Secretaries or GSRs have an obligation to keep DCIG and GSO up to date with any changes to their meeting times, venue , access, chits and zoom details, where this latter is applicable and don’t forget contact names and phone numbers.  Thankfully,  this generally happens but occasional communication breaks down and this is captured when someone rolls up to a meeting that has changed its time or venue or login or has no wheelchair access etc.  The consequence  for the visitor is plain for all to see – no meeting that day. So please, please keep those meeting updates coming: ecomm.devonc@aamail.org

For the National Website – The Pink Form

Now when you supply the updates to DCIG please please use the National Website Pink Form which will ensure that your meeting details are correct on alcoholics-anonymous.org.uk. The link gets you to the online form and  it takes 10 minutes to enter the update.  You will need all the group information from the Members (Confidential) WTF. Plus names and phones for Secretary, Treasure and GSR plus a postal address for mail.  Only the groups have all of this and it is their responsibility to provide it via the Pink Form.

Intergroup Officer Changes and Registration

For Intergroup Office changes and Registration please use the Officer Registration Form
downloadable on this link.  Please forward the form as directed:

Updating the Confidential Directory (e.g. registering a new service officer in post) must be done by an existing registered service officer of the Region or Intergroup. The updating process includes a request for an aamail account.
