The next gathering of the Stormy Petrels will take place on Friday, July 26th.

We will meet at The Tapestry at UBC for our annual “Classic Movie Night” at 6:00 for snacks , movie begins rolling at 7:00.

Should you show up in Sherlockian-inspired dress, your Consulting Detective will reward you with a gift.

We will be treated to two movies. These were actually two episodes from a television series which originally aired in America in 1954.

“The Red-Headed League” and “The Case of the Shoeless Engineer” both starring Ronald Howard as Sherlock Holmes.

Please contact me if you are able to attend, as our host Brian needs to inform “Mrs Hudson”.

Hope to see you all there!

1.  “The Game’s Afoot” – July 10-18

Peninsula Productions present the Canadian premiere of Ken Ludwig’s play.

Set in 1936 at Gillette Castle, Connecticut, a guest of the castle is murdered, and the world-renowned actor, William Gillette resumes his role as Sherlock Holmes to solve the crime.

The Playhouse is located at 1532 Johnston Road, White Rock.

2. “Reichenbach Falls” Excursion –  July 13

After our ceremonial wreath-toss and picnic, (please see the previous post) we make our way to “Toad Hall” with a slight detour to visit the grave-site of Margaret Denison, mother of Vincent Starrett.  We will show our respects by reciting her son’s poem, “221b” and remembering what a great influence she was on her son’s life. If anyone requires a ride, please let me know.
