The Sherlock Holmes Society of the South West of England
“Hand me over my violin and let us
try to forget for half an hour the miserable weather, and the
still more miserable ways of our fellow men.”
(The Five Orange Pips)
Our social gatherings are well known for their friendly relaxed atmosphere aided by the fact that they usually take place in or around one of the area's numerous public houses. As well as being informative, our aim is to further good companionship amongst the members of our Society and we are always open to suggestions for subjects to investigate or places to visit.
