AA_USA_Box 4-5-9 - G.S.O

Hello Friends,

Don't Know if you already have seen this USA AA GSO Website

  I did know about it but hadn't realised until my recent visit how
   widely known and read it was by  US/Canada AA's.

      Maybe we could do with similar in the UK,  it might? make our
         UK GSO more open and transparent to the 'HIGHER' echelons of the

             Fellowship,  ie Members/Groups/Intergroups!!

                     In Fellowship,  Doonald

  PS - Notice how open it is to everyone = nothing to hide!

Thanks Doonald - an interesting part of the North American site, particularly in the light of communication developments over here recently. I especially like this issue:-

Now isn't that nice - I've posted an external link, and the sky hasn't fallen in.

Interesting find, Doonald. I remember when Box 459 used to be distributed to UK groups. I always thought that our AA Service News was intended to be 459 for the UK. Sadly, our service magazine has become very GSB-centred and most articles seem to be written by Trustees and Conference Delegates. In the last few years the design has made it very unattractive. The last issue was most valuable because it published the committee responses to conference questions long before these reports appeared in the online database of Conference Q&A.
