Monthly Meetings
Montlhy meetings focus on one adventure or part of a novel.
The short stories were originally published in periodicals; they were later gathered into five anthologies:
* The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (contains stories published 1891–1892 in The Strand)
* The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (contains stories published 1892–1893 in The Strand as further episodes of the Adventures)
* The Return of Sherlock Holmes (contains stories published 1903–1904 in The Strand)
* His Last Bow (contains stories published 1908–1913 and 1917)
* The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes (contains stories published 1921–1927)
The novels are:
* A Study in Scarlet (serialised 1887)
* The Sign of the Four (published 1890)
* The Hound of the Baskervilles (serialised 1901–1902 in The Strand)
* The Valley of Fear (serialised 1914–1915)
Who
All Diogenes Club members and their guests are invited to the monthly meetings. Guests are welcome to attend - let us know you are coming!
What
Meetings generally consist of the wide ranging conversation had by people who are widely read. Add to that a focus on a particular Sherlock Holmes adventure, thoughts on the era in which the stories are written, a pint or two, and the fierce competition to win the monthly quiz and you have the flavor of a monthly meeting.
When
The first Sunday of the month beginning at 1 PM.
