Summary

Maura M from Hammersmith London shares on the topic "The ABC's of Recovery" at the Magical Mystery Tour zoom meeting recorded in July of 2023. AA International Update: All the conference reserved hotels are sold out, over 22,000 people have already registered. Efforts are being made to find additional hotel space, some room is still available in the university dorms (your best deal). I added a hotel zone map to the event listing with a link to a more detailed pdf. At the moment you would be lucky to find a hotel close to the venue for under $600 per night with most well above 1k. If you look an hour+ from downtown your still in the $3-400.ish range, if you are thinking of going book sooner rather than later.
