Summary

This is part five of a five part workshop led by Charlie P along with his wife Katie and also Chris R, they are presenting a workshop on Taking a Newcomer Through the Steps, from the perspective of doing it with a sense of urgency. They do some Q&A at the end of the session, the questions were impossible to hear, I have removed all the dead space and they do a very good job of repeating the question before answering. This was recorded at the London Ontario Primary Purpose Group in Canada in 2014, someone had emailed me asking about a slightly later version of this workshop, that reminded me I had this on my list to use...so here it is. The event itself is 8 recordings not 5, the first three are the speakers each telling their stories for about 40 min. I am going to combine those speaks into one episode and upload that the day after the actual workshop concludes, in reality the workshop opened with those. If you are anywhere near Atlanta Georgia on the weekend of 3/22 the Atlanta Mens Workshop is taking place, its a twice a year event going since 1982.
