“How do you know whether or not an event is an ‘A.A.’ event?”

As per pg 6 of A.A. Guidelines on “Conferences, Conventions and Roundups”, that states “How do you know whether or not an event is an ‘A.A.’ event?”: The criteria generally in place for an event to be considered “an A.A. event” is that it be put on by A.A.s, for A.A.s and about A.A. It’s up to the group conscience of each A.A. group what criteria they consider when deciding on what announcements will be made. Some group consciences ask that all announcements be limited to subjects only as they relate to the A.A. group’s business. Some groups decide that announcements regarding “events” be made before or after the A.A. meeting; and some group consciences have determined that announcing A.A. “social events” is within the definition of an A.A. group’s primary purpose.
