For NSW Southern Highlands Groups our area is Area B, Eastern Region Area B is part of the General Service structure of AA Australia. It covers a large chunk of south-eastern NSW (map). Area B sends a delegate to the annual General Service Conference of AA Australia each November. It also publishes the B-Line newsletter, co-ordinates Public Information activities, and runs meetings in the ACT and Goulburn prisons.  The Area B Committee is responsible to groups through quarterly Area Assemblies, and group representatives are welcome to attend monthly committee meetings. 

Upcoming meetings and Area Assemblies are listed here.

4. Has your Group Representative registered your Group with your Area?

By doing so, your group will receive all the latest information about what is happening in your area and be able to attend and participate in the decision making of how AA "carries the message" to suffering problem drinkers and alcoholics in our communities.

If your group supports both arms of service - AA can operate to its best ability.

Otherwise AA can be hampered by having one or both arms weak or out of action altogether!
