What a rag-bag of singular happenings!
The Arthur Conan Doyle Weekend in Haslemere, UK
June 15-17, 2012 (weekend after our very own Scintillation of Scions)
If, after the Scintillation this year, you are still longing for more Conan Doyle and anything Holmes-related, consider attending The Arthur Conan Doyle Weekend in Haslemere, UK.
We had the distinct pleasure recently of meeting Joe McDonald and Marion Dell, organizers of what promises to be a wonderful weekend in the lovely village of Haslemere and surrounding areas. Near to Haslemere is Hindhead, where Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's home, Undershaw, can be found, as well as the village of Grayshott, where the graves of Conan Doyle's mother, first wife, and two of his children are buried. Haslemere will offer a weekend filled with entertainment and other diversions, as well as banquets and exhibitions. See all the details at their website, which you can access here.
