*****************************************************
GUIDELINES for AA in Great Britain,
From the General Service Office, 10 Toft Green, York Y01 7NJ
INTERGROUPS Revised November 2006 No 4
AIMS
The aims of an Intergroup are to aid the
constituent Groups in their common purpose
of carrying the AA message to the still
suffering alcoholic and, by using their
combined strength and unity, to improve and
maintain good relations with all
organisations in the community. -----------
****************************************************
Examples of Intergroup "in action" is to maintain good relations with
all organisations in the community and thus ‘Passing the Message’
by using the combined collective strength and unity of the
Groups in their area by means of: PI – Public Information;
Health; Prisons; Public Talks to Schools and other organisations;
Probation; Managing the local Telephone Helpline; Updating and
distributing Meeting lists, 12 Step lists, etc. All these Service
Positions in the Intergroup are carried out by members of local
Groups who attend and report to Intergroup.
Our Guidelines give a full explanation of each Service Position and
are free by applying to: AA, General Service Office, PO Box 1, 10 Toft Green, York.
Groups within and with the knowledge of the local Intergroup
can assist by distributing authorised Pamphlets to local Doctors
Surgeries, Dentists, Churches etc.
Group Service Representatives (GSR's) report to Intergroup on the progress of
their respective Service positions and aldo report back to their own
Group the activities and progress of the various Services and other items of interest.
Intergroup Meetings can also advise as a collective Group Conscience
with problems within a Group where guidance or advice is required.
Note: Intergroup can only ADVISE on these matters.
Ultimate responsibility is with the Group Conscience of that Group
and by use of our Traditions and Guidelines.
