Croeso—Welcome
Translation of The Speckled Band
Progress continues to be made on the project. The image to the left is the front cover page.
The text is presently undergoing final corrections and proofreading.
The next stage is to obtain an ISBN (International Standard Book Number), which is the barcode that appears on the back cover of most books.
As soon as the final version of the text is available it will be typeset and converted to PDF for printing.
We expect to be in print by July 2013.

To the only Sherlock Holmes Society in Wales
Issue 72 ( May 2013) of The Baker Street Bugle out soon
***********************************************
The Society (which was formed in 2001) meets at irregular intervals at a time suitable to most members, the date and venue being decided in advance.
After the minutes of the previous meeting have been read and signed, and other Society business has been attended to, the format will include a selection of the following:-
-
The showing of a Sherlock Holmes video or the playing of an audio cassette.
-
A quiz based on a case, chosen at the previous meeting, from the Canon with each member providing three questions. In fact, each member should have at least six questions prepared as some they have chosen might have been asked by other members. The person with the highest wins a small Holmesian prize.
-
Discussing the latest Holmesian news – which includes reviews of the latest books, audio cassettes and DVDs.
-
Investigating Holmesian games and quizzes.
-
A learned discussion on some aspect of the Canon.
