Origins

The first Melbourne AA Steps Weekend was held in 2005.

How did it come about?

There was a bunch of AA members from various groups at a Dandenong Steps for Beginners meeting in February 2005. One of the members, Baba, suggested that he would like to hold an AA convention about the AA steps and knew of a venue in the city that could be used.

So a committee of experienced and enthusiastic members was formed on the spot - Chris from the Steps in St Kilda Group, Darryl from the Triangle Group, Glenys, Baba and Cherri from the Dandenong Steps for Beginners Group and David from the City Group.

The first Melbourne AA Steps Weekend was held 3 months later on the last weekend in May 2005.
