2012 is starting to look like an exciting year.
We have the BBC series to look forward to;
Sherlock Holmes – “A Game of Shadows” is still going strong at the movie threatre; (my review of the film will appear in the next issue of The Petrel Flyer)
A very amusing “Antoine Feval” will appear at the Surrey Arts Cente in February; (I had the opportunity to see this one-man mystery in Toronto and I really do recommend it)
The Petrels’ gala “Master’s Dinner” is scheduled for March; and
preparations are under way for the Stormy Petrels of B.C. 25th Anniversary!
We are inviting Sherlockians from far and near to help us celebrate this milestone.
We will, first of all, begin the year with our annual Sherlock Holmes brunch, in honour of the Great Detective’s birthday, at the White Spot (corner of West Georgia and Cardero) on January 7th.
For more information on these events and general questions, please contact Fran at the Stormy Petrel g-mail address. I would love to hear from you!
