Petrels pack your passports!
Yes, it’s that time of year again to head south of the border to meet up with other West Coast Sherlockian societies.
The “usual suspects” are The Sound of the Baskervilles from Seattle, The Dogs in the Night Time from Anacortes, at least one of the two Portland groups, and a delegation representing the John H. Watson Society (of which I am pleased to be a member!)
The organizer of this event, and the man who started it all is Allen Nelson of the SOB’s. He has made it possible for us to take part in this wonderful opportunity to get to know other Sherlockians on the West Coast.
Each group brings an activity to share, whether in the form of a skit or quiz.
The date: Saturday, November 4th
The place: Skagit River Brewery (upstairs room) located in Mount Vernon, WA, just off the I 5. We will begin the festivities at noon (the food is amazing!) and we will end at approximately 4:00 pm.
Please let me know if you would like to hitch a ride with me (franziskah@shaw.ca) I will be leaving Surrey at 10:00 am
Please join us! Get to know your neighbours!
