We are a scion society affiliated with Baker Street Irregulars. We meet quarterly "for the game's own sake.
We gather quarterly for the sake of the game to advance the study of Sherlockiania and all of its aspects. We have presented and will continue to present speakers on various topics related to Sherlock Holmes and the Victorian age. We post those discussions on our Youtube channel and also post, when possible, the text of those presentations on this website.
We are proud to have Scott Monty travel all the way from Detroit, Michigan to discuss Holmes and how he has become a part of public life and how each generation finds its own new and unique ways to enjoy the hobby. He will explore various formats in the media, finding things that are beautiful, useful or true.
