Our 32nd meeting was conducted on Tuesday, January 21, 2020, and began at 7pm at 5905 Carolina Beach Road, Unit 7, in Monkey Junction. Attending was (from left to right) Barb, Beth, Michelle, Candace, Pat, Tom, Rick, Bill, Barry, and Ed (out front taking the picture, and our newest member).

Notes from this meeting:

After welcoming Ed, our newest member, we went around the room and introduced ourselves, stating our name and occupation. Then, we got down to business...
  • Rick read a quote for us to guess... The quote was from A Study in Scarlett, and the speaker was none other than Watson. While some of us guessed the story correctly, no one gets credit for guessing the speaker!
  • Bill presented us with a character description who turned out to be Hudson, from the story Gloria Scott.  Candace gets credit for guessing the story, but again, no one guessed the character's name.
  • Michelle brought us a couple of fun facts, including naming the stories that mentioned Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock's older brother.
  • Candace brought us a wonderful book for show and tell.  It was a colorful "casebook" with authentic features, straight out of Victorian London.
  • The puzzle entitled "The end of DeRode" was a toughy, but Bill, Rick, and Candace was able to reveal most of the clues that led to the solution. 
  • Barry did a great job presenting the story "The Greek Interpreter".  His summary and analysis was very professional and interesting.

Plans for February meeting:

  • Our next meeting will take place on Wednesday, February 26, 2020, and be held at the usual place (Tom's Computer Repair Shop - Beach PC). Note:  This is a departure from our regular meeting time, which has always been on the third Tuesday of each month.  We will try to get back on that schedule in March.
  • Barry has volunteered to bring us a quote from one of the stories we have already discussed.
  • Barb has agreed to bring us a character description.
  • Pat said he would bring a fun fact about Sherlock Holmes, or any SH related subject.
  • Ed plans to bring a show and tell item for our amusement.
  • ​The assigned story is The Naval Treaty, and Bill has volunteered to lead the discussion. Here is the link to the Granada Television series: ​ https://archive.org/details/SherlockHolmesGranada/1984-05-08+-+Sherlock+Holmes+-+The+Naval+Treaty.avi
