In preparation for the August meeting...

Tom and Barry decided that the best time to conduct the August meeting would be Tuesday, August 29th. The time will still be 7pm, and the place will still be Beach PC's computer repair shop at 5905 Carolina Beach Road.

The story to be discussed will be "The Boscombe Valley Mystery". Be sure to read the story and be ready to discuss the finer points.

Two additional activities that will be introduced at the August meeting will be (a) identification of a quotation from a story, and (b) solving a crime by asking questions about the scenario. The quote is as follows:

​"My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then with artificial stimulants." - Sherlock Holmes 

If you think you know which story from which this quote comes, then write it on a piece of paper and bring it to the August meeting.  The crime to solve is shown in the picture below:

Even though the information is sketchy at best, this crime can be solved if you know which questions to ask!

The game is afoot!
