All members of AA are very welcome to attend Intergroup Meetings.
Notts/Leics and Derbyshire Intergroups
We welcome all AA members to attend as Intergroup is the voice of local AA and cannot exist without support. We look forward to seeing you there - no invite needed !
What is Intergroup?
Intergroup exists to provide AA services within the local area which are not practical for each individual group to provide.
Intergroup consists of and is operated by the AA groups in Nottinghamshire/Leicestershire (NLIG) and Derbyshire (DIG). Each group may send a representative - the Group Service Representative, or GSR, - and the GSR's vote on any matters that arise. Other AA members are welcome (in fact encouraged) to attend and join in but may not vote.
What does Intergroup do?
What happens at an Intergroup meeting?
Because these meetings are in effect a "business meeting" they have an Agenda and a record of the meeting, the minutes, is kept. Also, any matters arising are voted on by a show of hands and in this way Intergroup is similar to the Conscience meeting held by many AA groups.
But we try to make the meeting relaxed and friendly and we have found that sitting facing each other helps as does going around the room and introducing ourselves at the start (and of course the Tea urn is constantly on.....)
The meeting is run by the Chair and the minutes are recorded by the secretary. The meeting Agenda will have been printed by the Secretary and handed out to all attending, along with minutes from the last meeting, and this is then followed.
A typical Agenda may be:
