Assign a General Service Representative to attend Intergroup meetings. Let the intergroup know of your proposed timing, venue, and type of group (open/closed). Place information in your local community (local media, notice-boards in shops, surgeries, libraries etc.) so they know the new AA group exists.
Proof of attendance at meetings is not part of A.A.'s procedure. Each group is autonomous and has the right to choose whether or not to provide proof of attendance at their meeting.
There are a variety of formats for A.A. meetings and each meeting takes on the feel of their local area. At most meetings you will hear members talk about what drinking did to them and to those around them. Most also share what actions they took to stop drinking and how they are living their lives today.
When the courts mandate attendance at AA meetings, AA participants work with defense attorneys to verify attendance. In some cases a sign in sheet is made available for visitors to an AA meeting to report attendance to the court.
Some may not provide it at all. So, ask at the beginning of the meeting and not at the end. Usually, you will have to make your request either verbally or by using the chat interface. The secretary of the group may ask for your email address to email the verification after the meeting is over.
It Only Takes Two People to Have a Meeting: At Home Recovery Meetings During Quarantine. From the 12 Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous, Tradition 3: “Any two or three alcoholics gathered together for sobriety may call themselves an A.A. group, provided that, as a group, they have no other affiliation.”
And, in order to be an “official” AA group – often required by the Intergroups before your meeting is listed – you can fill out the New Group Form (3rd page) and thereby be registered with the AA General Service Office (GSO).
Group business meet- ings are meant to give members an opportunity to discuss subjects of importance to the group. Group conscience can be thought of in much the same way as personal conscience. Group conscience reflects a collective awareness of, understanding of, and surrender to spiritual principles.
In most groups, the chairperson or another officer calls the business meeting, which ordinarily is held on a monthly or quarterly basis. While some groups may occasionally permit nonmembers to attend, the group may request that only home group members participate or vote.
