Eleven Petrels attended the February 2nd Zoom meeting to discuss “The Man With the Twisted Lip”.
Sheldon Goldfarb read his Musings on the adventure, Rich Krisciunas read his toast to The Wives of the Twisted Lip. Rich also read a poem, originally from the 1969 Baker Street Journal written by Philip Mather. Steve Mason was congratulated on his recent investiture into the BSI.
Regarding the “Petrel Flyer”, I have received very positive feedback regarding the Flyer, “The Stormy Petrels 2020 A Year in Review”. All members and contributors should have received their copy by now.
I am happy to report that we have several spare copies to offer to anyone who would like to own this bound edition, highlighting the year.
Over 50 pages containing reviews, reports; musings and minutes; pictures and puzzles; a quiz and a comic specially drawn for the Petrels by Steve Mason.
Please contact me at franziskah@shaw.ca for the price and availability of this special edition.
I am very pleased to report that Brian Collins has volunteered to step up as the new editor. Any contributions can still be sent to me at franziskah@shaw.ca and I will forward these to Brian.
Stay tuned for the announcement regarding the March meeting. If you would like to get a head start, the adventure for discussion will be “The Blue Carbuncle”.
