It's that time once again. Time for the Mycroft quiz and meeting for Watson's Tin Box.

This year the quiz is all about The Valley of Fear. That makes it both more difficult than usual and less difficult. More difficult because I'm tricky and less difficult because you can actually study for this Mycroft. Good luck to all takers.

I always try to make the quiz equally fun for all - equally for the newest newbie to the hardest of the hard core. There will be 60 questions - 30 on the Birlstone Mystery and 30 on the Scowerers. And bragging rights for the winner.

NEWS FLASH!!!
Here's a little treat.  We have grown so much this year and have so many newcomers to the Sherlockian world, I have decided to institute a new Mycroft award.  The existing plaque will still be handed out but we will have a second Mycroft award for the new kids on the block.
 
The new award is called "The Stranger's Room Award" - in keeping with the Mycroft theme.If you don't "get it" read The Greek Interpreter. At the start of the quiz any one wishing to compete for the Stranger's Room award must declare themselves, they will not be eligible for the other award.  The quiz taker with the highest score within the Stranger's Room group will win the new award.  Everyone will be taking the same quiz. 

As always this is a potluck affair. Please create a Canonical name for whatever dish you bring. If you don't want to cook we always need staples: dishes, cups, soda, ice, etc. If your dish requires serving utensils please provide them; if your dish needs to be kept warm please provide a means for doing so.

When you RSVP, please let me know what you plan to bring so I can make sure we have a variety of dishes and everything we need.

Please RSVP by Thursday, January 23, 2014.
 
If you have any questions please call or email me.
 
Please come celebrate the new year with Watson's Tin Box.  It won't be the same without YOU there!

Canonically yours,
