July Area G Update

Guest User July 12, 2015

Winter is definitely upon us, but so is the latest soul warming edition of the Area G Message.  The Winter edition includes "Meditations on Alcoholism", "Traditions Corner", a feature interview with a member on their service experience and much more.  Download your copy now on the Area G website, sit yourself in front of the heater with a nice hot cocoa for a good read.    

Whilst you are on the Area G Website don't forget to check out the events and service opportunities page for the latest goings on.  There are some not-to-be-missed AA events coming soon.  On 21 July there's the annual Sydney Homeless Connect event which links hundreds of homeless people from all over Sydney with services that might be helpful to them.  AA members from Area G will be there on the day providing information about our fellowship.  On 24 July there is a Generation Next public information event which is an opportunity for AA members to provide information about AA at a forum focusing on the mental health of young people. 

On Sunday, the 26th of July there will be an Area G General Service Information session, which will be an opportunity to meet with members of the General Service Board of AA, Trustees, General Service Office staff, a World Service Delegate and the National PI Coordinator.  This promises to be both a fun and informative event, so grab a newcomer and come along. 

Coming up on 21, 22 and 23rd of August there is a Sydney Men's Stuff weekend at Vision Valley in Arcadia.  This is shaping up to be a fantastic weekend with meetings on the Steps, topic meetings and a guest speaker bonfire meeting.  Payment must be made by the 21st of July, so get in quickly!! 


On the 29th of August we have AA's Got Talent! So groom your mind-reading dog; pair up and practice your tango; put those voice lessons to use; get your acts prepared and come on down for live auditions on the night! For more information, for act registration and to request more info, click on the link above.

Looking forward to Spring, those of you looking for a nice early 1 hour meeting to cap off your weekend, the long established Kings Cross Sunday evening meeting will be changing to a 7:00 pm start from September 6.  The meeting will now run for one hour. 

Tune in regularly to see what events and service opportunities are coming up.  Email areagaasydney@gmail.com if you want to add an Area G service opportunity or event.

Festival of Daring Ideas

Our founders were men and women who were willing to try and fail and learn through the process.  We believe we have a responsibility to continue the process of trial and error, change and growth, so that AA continues to be relevant to new generations of people who need the solution we have found.   

In that spirit we are trying something new. The Festival of Daring Ideas will feature some of the inspiring things people are doing in AA and will be a wonderful opportunity to meet some of the hard working and remarkable members who are out there making a difference at every level.  You will get to meet face to face with members of the General Service Board, Eastern Regional Delegates, International Delegates, and National Office staff.  It will also be a celebration of the local heroes who make a difference in every day ways.  They run local steps groups, put on dances and events, put out their hands and welcome new members at the door, pay the rent and keep the doors open, creating the welcoming and attractive fellowship that is AA. 

The overarching theme of the festival is unity. 

Most of all we hope that the festival will be a celebration of what we in AA are doing well and will inspire a new generation of AA members to pick up the torch and find their own ways of carrying our common solution to those who need it. 

AA is yours.  We hope you will take ownership, make your own mistakes, learn from them and create a fellowship that you want to be part of.   As one of our elder statesmen, Rusted on Reg says: “It is better to ask forgiveness than seek permission”. 

The festival program will include:

·      Entertainment

·      Social media workshop

·      Innovative local initiatives making a difference

·      What is happening in AA in Australia and internationally

·      The great debate, and much more

The Festival of Daring Ideas is happening at North Sydney Leagues Club on Saturday 6 September from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm.  The internationally renowned Cabaret AA will be on in the same venue following the Festival. 

It should be lots of fun.  Hope you can be there.
