The Sherlock Holmes Society of South Australia was formed in 2004. It has strong links to the former Sherlock Holmes Society of Australia whose founding president, Alan Olding (BSI), is a Honorary Life Member.
Based in Adelaide, Australia we are an informal group who meet around 4 times a year. As all good meetings should, they revolve around good food, good company and, of course, a common interest in the works featuring Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. Our meetings are diverse and have featured guest speakers, book discussions and film viewings. We are very much a member based society and the opinion and input of all members are welcome.
A newsletter is also produced four times a year and is available to members.
If you are interested in the society please contact us by email sherlocksa@gmail.com. Membership is only $15AU annually for a single membership and $20AU for a double.
