PI Newsletter Issue 7 – Oct 2026
Ideas, Innovation and Service in Action
Welcome to the PI Newsletter Issue 7 – October 2026
This edition highlights how Public Information and Electronic Communications service continues to develop across the Fellowship.
From outreach events and local initiatives to insights from the 2025 Membership Survey, members are finding new ways to carry the message of AA.
We also report on the role of AI in service, introduce BlogIn as a new space for collaboration, and highlight opportunities to get involved in PI & EComms work. Included in this issue is a practical example of AI supporting service through a searchable database of 60 years of Conference Reports, Questions, and Recommendations.
Thanks for reading, and we look forward to hearing your service news!
All the best,
Steve

Latest AA Service News
Service News Autumn Edition 2026
GSO York produce a quarterly Service News which is packed full of great stuff that they do in conjunction with AA groups and other organisations to carry the message and support the work of recovery from alcohol addiction. Here is the latest Edition:
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.
- If you are updating a service post, click here:
- If you are a registered service officer requesting an AA mail account, download and fill out this form, and email it to: groupinformation@gsogb.org.uk

Online Meeting List for UK and Europe
The national Website Meeting Finder maintains a list of almost 400 online meetings which are independent of any intergroup or region. About half in the UK and the rest in most West European Countries. To access the list use this link BUT before clicking the link read the note below:
https://www.alcoholics-anonymous.org.uk/AA-Meetings/Find-a-Meeting/
When you get to the webpage you have select the ‘Online’ Intergroup from the drop down list – and its right at the end on the long list. Then click the search button above. If you add a Day of the Week , you will get a sub list of all online meetings for the selected day (Sunday to Saturday). Be aware if your meeting is tagged for an intergroup it will not appear on this Online List which is specifically for meetings with no intergroup or regional affiliations. Play with the selections – it is worth the effort but don’t use the Town or Postcode.
Finding Your Meeting Registration Number (UID)
The DCIG Website lists UIDs for all meetings
Use the Tag Box and select your meeting day and check for the UID after the Postcode or Zoom link.
You can then check your UID against the current GSO information via this PDF link: aa-devonc-meetings
This link to “Meeting Finder Results” gives a table 7 rows by 3 columns with the UID at the foot of the meeting block. UIDs are 3, 4 or 5 digits except for Online Meetings which begin with ‘ON’ then 3 digits.
Please note that the meeting list is in alphabetic order so not in the WTF Day-of-the-Week order. There are presently 40 meetings on this list. On the national website, the Thursday hybrid Polish Meeting is in a separate Intergroup for Polish speaking meetings.
