Sherlockians

​A Sherlockian is an enthusiast or devotee of Sherlock Holmes — the fictional detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The term encompasses a wide range of people and levels of engagement, including the CASUAL FAN (someone who simply enjoys the stories, films, or TV adaptations featuring the character), the SCHOLAR/ENTHUSIAST (a more dedicated follower who studies the original four novels and 56 short stories with great seriousness, often treating them as historical documents rather than fiction), and the GAME PLAYER (a fan who treats Sherlock Holmes as a real person, and Dr. Watson as his biographer).

The Sherlock Holmes Society of the Cape Fear considers all those who participate in our monthly meetings to be dedicated Sherlockians. To recognize both their dedication to our scion, and their loyalty to the world's greatest detective, we grant them automatic membership in the highly coveted organization called "The Baker Street Regulars."

Dr. John H. Watson was a man who "was regular" in his habits. He reminds us of that fact in The Adventure of the Speckled Band, when he writes the following:

"It was early in April in the year '83 that I woke one morning to find Sherlock Holmes standing, fully dressed, by the side of my bed. He was a late riser, as a rule, and as the clock on the mantelpiece showed me that it was only a quarter-past seven, I blinked up at him in some surprise, and perhaps just a little resentment, for I was myself regular in my habits."

In honor of the faithful Dr. Watson and his unwavering loyalty, we are delighted to establish a prestigious new recognition within our society called the Baker Street Regulars. This distinguished fellowship celebrates members who embody Watson's reliability and show unwavering commitment to our monthly gatherings. Membership in The Baker Street Regulars is earned through ZOOM meeting attendance—just attend at least one meeting each year, and you will be considered a BSR member in good standing.
