The Society’s 60th Annual Dinner was held in the Members’ Dining Room at the House of Commons in London, on Saturday 7th January 2012 with guest speaker Steven Moffat. We were lucky enough to attend, and what follows is a write up of the night, and transcript of Steven’s speech, which was performed without any notes.
GSHD 2 Update: Team Warner Bros Sherlock’s Captain Announced
The Always 1895 Press Syndicate, reporting once again on the Great Sherlock Holmes Debate 2 (Sunday March 18, 2012), is delighted to announce that a team captain has been chosen for the Guy Ritchie Sherlock side (WB Sherlock): the formidable Burt Wolder, all around Sherlockian expert and co-host of I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere. Mr Wolder is a member of the Baker Street Irregulars (“The Third Pillar from the Left”) as well as belonging to the venerable Speckled Band of Boston, Mrs. Hudson’s Cliffdwellers of New Jersey and more.
It is highly advisable in this reporter’s opinion that Team BBC Sherlock not only bring their ‘A game’ on March 18th but prepare for a charge of Sherlockian erudition led by Mr Wolder and Team WB Sherlock that will take more than a batch of Cumberbunnies to hold back!
[“At the Lyceum Theatre the crowds were already thick at the side-entrances….We had hardly reached the third pillar, which was our rendezvous, before a small, dark, brisk man in the dress of a coachman accosted us.”]
Many of you are familiar with Burt Wolder, or at least the voice of Burt Wolder, via the Sherlockian podcast he co-hosts with Scott Monty I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere. Launched in June of 2007, Wolder and Monty were arguably the first internet-savy Sherlockians to successfully harness the power of the still novel ‘podcast’ format. Five years and 38 terrific episodes later, I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere has featured interviews with Leslie S. Klinger, Jon Lellenberg, Peter Blau, Michael Whelan (current ‘Wiggins’ of the BSI), Jerry Margolin, Otto Penzler, Steven Doyle, to name but a few.
While the episodes are both entertaining and edifying in themselves, I firmly believe that to Sherlockian historians of the future, these podcasts (in their original audio format and/or as transcriptions) will act as useful historical documents and the voices of Burt Wolder and Scott Monty will serve as moderators to an invaluable audio archive of the candid thoughts and opinions of important Sherlockians long departed from this mortal coil.
[“I hear of Sherlock everywhere since you became his chronicler…” -Mycroft]

Stay tuned to because later today I will announce the first GSHD2 audience member! Remember, there’s still plenty of time to apply to be one of the lucky chosen 10 (9 now). The moderators will choose one (1) audience spot per week and I’ll be introducing them to the world via Always1895.net. To enter describe why you deserve a place in 50 words or less - here.

Saturday 7th January saw The Sherlock Holmes Society of London hold their 60th annual dinner at the House of Commons with guest speaker Sherlock co-creator Steven Moffat. Author and Sherlock Holmes expert Alistair Duncan was there and shares his experience of the evening and thoughts on Steven’s speech.

The annual dinner of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London is one the most significant events in the Sherlockian calendar. As such it is on the ‘to do’ list of many Sherlockians worldwide. Such is its prestige (aided in recent years thanks to being located in the House of Commons dining room) that it has played host to a number of distinguished speakers (Agatha Christie to name but one). In more recent years speakers have included Ruth Rendell, Anthony Horowitz, Stephen Fry and Mark Gatiss.
