There are no business meetings, no board of directors, no treasury. There were four founding officers, but three of them have died and one has vanished. No replacements have been named.
There are numerous committees, such as the Committee on Quizzes, the Committee on Victuals and the Committee on Commercials. However, these committees never meet and their membership is unknown.
Members are often found at other Sherlockian goings-on, such as plays, films, talks, and gatherings of mystery lovers. The Committee on Things Like That keeps members up-to-date on these opportunities via this website and announcements at meetings. Many members participate in a number of Sherlockian groups.
CONTACTS:

Sherlock Holmes in the 1920s
A Visit with Mattias Boström
Mattias Boström is the author of Agatha Award winning From Holmes to Sherlock: The Story of the Men and Women Who Created an Icon (Mysterious Press, 2017), which won several other prizes and was nominated for Edgar, Anthony, and Macavity awards. He is an invested member of the Baker Street Irregulars (”The Swedish Pathological Society”), has won the Morley-Montgomery Award, writes occasionally for the Baker Street Journal and is main editor of the Sherlock Holmes and Conan Doyle in the Newspapers series (Gasogene Books). He works as senior editor at one of Sweden's biggest independent publishing companies and lives outside Stockholm with his wife and two daughters. He is an honorary member of the Baskerville Hall Club of Sweden, and a member of several Sherlockian societies around the world.
At this meeting we will return to the Red Circle tradition of designating an Adventure of the Evening (afternoon, morning), and have chosen "The Problem of Thor Bridge" for the occasion. The quiz will be based on this adventure, and all who register are invited (nay, encouraged), to send one or two questions (with answers) to Peter Blau. Wordplay, double-entendre, and general malevolence are encouraged. Alexander Braun at the Hounds of the Internet has posted two inquiries into this story in recent years, and we provide them here for your personal research.
