“Murky goings-on in Derbyshire” - another perspective (in brief)



We have received further allegations with reference to the Derby City meetings. These include forms of personal abuse, interference with prescribed medication, and that the Derby City group promotes itself to the detriment of other groups in the area. Our source requested that the details not be published on the site. We would however be interested to hear from any members who can provide any further (publishable) evidence to support (or rebut) these allegations (preferably in the form of personal testimony and/or documentary evidence).

Over to you

The Fellas (Friends of Alcoholics Anonymous)

PS We've recently checked out the AA GB website – the ONLY official website for AA in the country. For at least FOUR days now the Starter Pack section of the site (which carries links to the relevant pamphlets) has been inoperative. On clicking the links the message: “The system cannot find the path specified.” is displayed. What this means is that there is nothing there! Apparently the webmasters are currently substituting pdf links for html links for documents throughout the site but have failed to do so for this section. The documents themselves are available (if you look closely) under the Members' Area - then under Service - THEN under Document Library - and THEN under Newcomers starter pack Pdfs – not exactly easily accessible! We estimate it would take about 5 minutes to rectify the problem! So what's going on?

PPS The Share section of the same website contains the following spelling error: “possitive” for “positive”. Remember this website is: “created and maintained by The General Service Board of Alcoholics Anonymous (Great Britain) Ltd. through The General Service Office of Great Britain.”

Comment: This is the public face of Alcoholics Anonymous (Great Britain) on the web! Use a spell check!
