Ooooo. Insider information! :-) Thanks for the reminders and listing—I found some links to websites and resources detailing a bit more about what the cons will be covering and included them below:

The Agra Treasures of Dayton have some additional info on their website about Holmes, Doyle, & Friends:

221B Con in Atlanta's website is here:

Two things about the Crew of the Barque Lone Star - they will have their in-person conference May 26-27th, but they also have an online Legion of Zoom conference entitled "The Sitting Zoom at 221b Baker Street" on Sunday, February 19, 2023, at 1 pm Central time. Registration for that is already open:

The best info I could find about the May, in-person conference was the flyer from their FB Page:

Dear My Esteemed and Notorious Canary Trainers:

I apologize for missing last weekend’s meeting. Unfortunately, I had a severe case of Covid followed by a chaser of a Sinus infection that I contracted at my father’s funeral last month. Good times! 

Anyway, I’m very pleased to report that I’m now feeling healthy enough to attend the one-day conference hosted by The Norwegian Explorers this Saturday and look forward to visiting the new Sherlock Holmes exhibition in Minnesota over the weekend. 

I’m wondering if others are planning to attend in-person as well. Would love to see some fellow Canary Trainers there! 

Also, what is the title for next month’s meeting? Thanks!

Warm regards,

Barry

Hi Barry!

I'm so glad you're feeling better. I'll definitely be there Saturday (with bells on). If you have time, make a trip to the University of Minnesota's Elmer L. Andersen Library and their Sherlockian Collection. Tim Johnson (BSI) is the curator there, and I can't recommend his tour highly enough.

For the next few years, our schedule is proceeding along the publication order of the original stories (I've attached the full schedule below). Therefore, since this past weekend's discussion covered "The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb," next month on the 20th of November, we'll be covering "The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor."
