What is an Alcoholics
Anonymous Roundup? How much does the North Shore Roundup cost? The cost per ticket is $30.00 Canadian. The ticket entitles you entry into all of the Roundup meetings and dances. Extra cost for refreshments, literature, speakers' tapes/cd's and other AA and Al-Anon related material for sale in the lobby on the Conference (3rd) Level. Where does the North
Shore Roundup take place? Do I get a special rate
at the Hyatt if I'm there for the Roundup? Yes, but please mention to the Hyatt staff
that you are staying at the hotel to attend the North Shore
Roundup, when you are reserving your room. Why is the Roundup called the North Shore Roundup? It is called the North Shore Roundup because it is sponsored by members of AA and Al-Anon who's home groups are in North or West Vancouver and Bowen Island. The reason the roundup is not in any of these locations is no convention center large enough to handle the number of people who attend the NSR. How many people go to the North Shore Roundup? In the last 25+ years approximately 2000 people have attended each Roundup. We are limited to selling 2000 tickets. Past years we have been sold out Friday night or early Saturday morning. If you're planning on attending, please buy your ticket early to avoid disappointment. They can be conveniently bought online through PayPal on the Ticket Page. What is there to do at the Roundup? Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon speakers from all over North America are chosen to speak at the large meetings on Friday evening, Saturday afternoon and evening and on Sunday morning and afternoon. There are smaller meetings throughout the weekend with varying themes. There are dances on Friday and Saturday nights. There are Marathon Meetings starting at 10:00 PM Friday night in the Oxford Room on the Convention (3rd) Level, running continuously, an "AA Meeting" every hour on the hour, until 9:00 AM Sunday morning, 35 continuous hours of "Meetings". Where in the hotel are the meetings and other events happening? Below you'll see the floor plan of the Plaza (2nd) Level and Convention (3rd) Level of the Hyatt Regency. On it you'll find the location of meeting rooms, the registration area, refreshments and restrooms. Hard of hearing and deaf attendees. The NSR Committee would appreciate being advised if you are planning to attend and the number in your party, so we can reserve your seat(s) in the designated ASL (front) area at the main, larger, meetings. If you have a friend or acquaintance who can sign for you please bring them to the Roundup and we will accommodate them, free of charge. Can I smoke at the Round Up? Outside only. There is a City of Vancouver By-law banning smoking in public buildings, but there are designated areas outside of the hotel with ashtrays provided for smokers.
