Why is our Group not listed in the Meeting Finder?
- When the Meeting Finder is asked to list groups close to a known point, it uses postcodes to calculate distances. A wrong postcode will make this calculation in error. So a meeting known to be close to a town centre may be listed as being as several miles away. On the accompanying map, the marker may be not be in the correct place.
- The Meeting finder uses the postcode to calculate distances to your current location/search entry. Without the postcode it may not show on search results or on the map or meetings. If it is listed, it may be at the very end of the list.
- Send in a Pink Form with the correct Postcode.
- If you know the postcode is correct, notify the ECSC using the contact page here to report 'Problems with the website'.
Where can we find our
Group Registration Number?
When we fill in a Pink Form, we are asked for a Group
Registration Number. It is not essential to know this, but it is useful to GSO
staff when calling up Group Records.
- It is printed on envelopes sent from GSO to Groups e.g. mailings of AA Service News
- It can be found on an Intergroup's microsite. Every intergroup has such a microsite, and within it is a page "Download Meetings List in PDF Format". On this list, the Group's Number (also known as a 'UID') can be found.

Why can we not buy SHARE and Roundabout magazines in the Shop?
