LATEST WTF 2025 Q4 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 Q4 2025 Intergroup Meeting on Sunday 16th of November at:

Park Life Centre,
Whipton Lane, Heavitree, Exeter EX1 3DN

https://parklifeheavitree.org.uk

The current revision date is now 8/12/25  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.

Meeting Summary

In both WTF editions, there is a separate section for Zooms. This Online section  list both Zoom meetings and the Zoom details for any Hybrid meetings. Currently, we have 7 Online Meetings (2 Hybrids and 5 Zooms). There are 37 traditional meetings. So, we have a total of 37 (Trads and Hybrids) plus 5 Zoom only, for a total of 42 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 Registartion

For Intergroup Office changes and Registration please us the Officer Registration Form available on this link . Please forward the form as directed.
