Northdown Intergroup – an AA Intergroup?

“Dear Fellas,
Just read your bit about Northdown Intergroup and the Cathedral nonsense. Can I please ask you to print up a bit about this year's AA General service conference in York (our annual group conscience). Committee 4 Question 3 dealt with the financing of conventions. Do have a read of the answer in the AA service news, summer edition. It will blow the donkeys out of the water!!
I quote in part " The committee would like to draw attention to conference recommendation of 1995 which reads------That the practice of inviting speakers from overseas and paying their expenses is a breach of traditions 4 and 12"

So there you have it fellas, any self respecting AA member wishing to adhere to our group conscience would not get involved with the show pony brigade. Those members who invite the Yanks over are simply self serving egotists. Keep at it. “

(our usual thanks to this AA member for bringing the 1995 recommendation to our attention)
