Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Chairman Elaine McCafferty has something serious to say
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Yes, this is a matter of grave importance.
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
The Treasurer - who unfortunately cannot be with us tonight -
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
- reports that the Society's finances are in good order...

... and there is no need to raise the annual subscription rate!

"Next, Roger Johnson will announce the winner of the Tony & Freda Howlett Literary Award."
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Against very strong opposition, the winner this year is Catherine Cooke.
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Catherine's paper "Making Bricks Without Clay: The Medical Training of Dr Watson" is outstanding.

Now Nick Utechin invites everyone to take a number from the deerstalker.

Portrait of a roomful of Holmesians wondering what they've let themselves in for.
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
The Table 6 team take it seriously.
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
So do Table 5.
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Table 7 seem more amused than otherwise.
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
But those at Table 3 have no time for frivolity.
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Table 1 appear more confident.
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
And there's earnest discussion at Table 4.
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Brows are furrowed at Table 6.
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
That looks like a firm answer at Table 7.
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
"Are you sure that's right?"
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Two rounds down, and three more to go.
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
"Let's just make sure we have that detail correct..."
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Table 2 haven't played their Joker yet.
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Everyone concentrates as Nick reads out the answers to the previous round.
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Nearly everyone. Some take a well-earned chance to relax.
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
"Did we get that one right?"
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
"WE got it right!"
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Are those smiles of satisfaction or incredulity at Table 7?
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
(Thinks) "I don't like the sound of this question..."
