Welcome to Watson's Tin Box--"A singular set of people..."
Watson’s Tin Box (Ellicott City, Maryland) is dedicated to reading and discussing the stories of Sherlock Holmes. Ours is a congenial group which invites and encourages members of all levels of knowledge and understanding of the stories, from the seasoned Sherlockian to the beginner, whom we all envy as they are discovering Holmes for the first time. The goal is to enjoy the stories and each other’s company!
Omnibus rebus impossibilibus remotis, quidquid relictum sit,
quamvis, debet esse veritas.

Newcomers--Please Note! No one has said this better than Scott Monty, BSI, creator of I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere: "Sherlockians are sociable by nature. We want more people like us to join our societies. Even if you feel like you might not know as much as the most learned scholar, remember: we all had to start somewhere. And we like to educate and encourage each other...The more, the merrier."
Tin Box Events
The Watson’s Tin Box Gasogene XXIX for 2018 is Carla Coupe. Carla has been an active member of the Tin Box for several years. We look forward to Carla’s leadership throughout 2018 as she brings her own talents and skills to enhance the group.
IRENE’S CABINET
It is time (already) to send in your contributions to the 2018 edition of our esteemed journal, "Irene's Cabinet." We're looking for essays, poetry, songs, short stories, limericks, drawings, toasts, and other assorted bits of creativity related to the Great Detective, his biographer, and his world.
The issue has no theme, so write on whatever topic your heart so desires. Please keep contributions to less than 2,000 words. Any accompanying images should preferably be in black and white. Send submissions to jnmahoney1982 (at) gmail (dot) com by July 14, 2018.
Any questions can also be directed to Jaime Mahoney at the above email address. Lucky contributors will receive responses in iambic pentameter -- once she reminds herself what that is.
