“Antoine Feval”

Coming to the Surrey Arts Centre, Feb. 17th.
“One man. One mystery. No clue”.
A one-man play which I was fortunate enough to see in Toronto at the ACD@35 conference.
“Set in Victorian London, this solo comedy introduces us to Barnaby, a dim-witted optimist and Sherlock Holmes fan, who becomes the Dr. Watson-like sidekick….brilliantly written and performed by Chris Gibbs, who tells a hillarious story full of twists, turns and gadzooks moments.”

Order tickets online or by phone (604-501-5566)
Located at King George Blvd/88th Avenue, Surrey.

I have my ticket and hope to see you there!

Welcome, Sherlockians, to 2012!

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!

An Ending and A Beginning

Sixteen Stormy Petrels enjoyed a very festive evening at the home of Orilea (aka “Gloria Scott”) and her always-charming husband.

The Petrel tree was adorned, once more, with a variety of Sherlockian ornaments (supervised by Elsa)

Tables were laden with various delicious appetizers and beverages to every one’s delight.

Throughout, one could spy Sherlockian and Doylean books. A portrait of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle graced the wall opposite the fireplace, where a crackling fire welcomed all who entered the room.

This was a perfect ending to a very busy and successful Petrel year.

The new year will begin with our annual tribute to Sherlock Holmes in the way of a luncheon in honour of his birthday.

Please join us at the White Spot (near Stanley Park) at 11:00 on January 7, 2012.

If you want to get a start on the next case for discussion, please read “The Sign of Four”.

The next regular meeting will take place on Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 7:00 pm chez Wood.

If you require additional information, please contact me, Your Consulting Detective (aka Fran the Hoffmann Barcarolle.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRIORY SCHOOLMASTER

We are on our last study session of STUD. Next on our list of cannonical contemplations will be SIGN.

We will be breaking the story up into two sessions. The first will be chapters 1 – 7. I will be giving you all a lession plan at the next meeting (Nov. 1 at Hampton Place).

Len has done a terrific job of presenting his favourite story, STUD. Having the lectures reproduced in the Petrel Flyer has given us the added advantage of being able to refer back to his lectures as we read the story.

I would like each of you to let me know what stories you would enjoy presenting so that I do not prepare them as well. SPEC is already spoken for.

Thank you,
Orilea M. “Gloria Scott”

On a side note: the correct link to the petition to award Jeremy Brett a posthumous BAFTA is: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/jbbafta3

only until October 31st.
Thanks, Monique
