We are always looking for presenters for our meetings. As you can see from past presentations, the topic can vary greatly! Membership is not necessary to present a topic of interest to our members, so if you know someone whose interests, a field of work, or another area of expertise would benefit us in regards to Sherlock Holmes, please contact us and let us know what you or someone you know would like to present!
We're back! After meeting virtually for quite some time, we finally managed to find a physical location that could meet our needs, for the most part. It was great to see old and new faces alike. At our April 2024 meeting, First Pip Brian Clark presented a stunning presentation on Sherlock Holmes v. Arsène Lupin: A Comparison of the Men and their Methods.

During our January 2020 meeting, Rick Etchells presented quite an interesting presentation titled An Exploration of The Extra-Holmesian Works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, where he presented the various works of Arthur Conan Doyle that were either outside of the canon or related to subject matter of a non-Sherlockian nature. It was quite the presentation, which you can view below. Loading... Taking too long? Reload document | Open in new tab Download
During our September 2019 meeting, First Pip Brian Clark presented an excellent analysis of our chosen reading, The Adventure of the Stockbroker's Clerk. Whether it was the discussion about St. Vitus’ Dance or the excellent statistics of how many times shoe-related deductions were made, it was a well-received presentation and very well presented!

During our meeting on January 27th, 2019, our member Kevin Beard presented a fascinating presentation on the Failures of Sherlock Holmes, which, as you can imagine, caused quite the interest and discussion amongst our members!

At our meeting on September 23rd, 2018, Brian presented a wonderful presentation titled "The Anti-Holmes(es): A (mostly) whimsical mental mission to find the metaphorical inverse of Sherlock Holmes".
Our very own Rick Etchells gave an exciting and interesting presentation titled Untold Tales of Sherlock Holmes, which covered cases Sir Arthur Conan Doyle never got around to writing. All of our members had nothing but accolades for the presentation, and we look forward to hearing from Rick again very soon!
Our very own Holmes, Dr. Kelly C. Kissane, gave a delightful presentation on Biology and Forensics within the canon. All of our members had a fantastic time listening to and learning from Dr. Kissane.
