How can I find a local society of Sherlockians, and what will it do?
[Thanks to Chris Redmond for this one] There are dozens if not hundreds of such societies; the chances of finding one in an American city of any size are high (and societies can also be found in Canada, Britain, Japan, most European countries and elsewhere). A local society may meet anywhere from once a month to once a year. Meetings will certainly include lively conversation and will probably include food and drink; there may also be films, talks and other activities. Nearly all societies are very hospitable to newcomers, especially friendly newcomers with an interest in Sherlock Holmes. To find a society in your vicinity, ask an old-timer, such as Peter Blau (pblau@cap.gwu.edu), who maintains an up-to-date list of hundreds of them.
