The Denizens meet regularly on a biannual basis. The Spring Meeting will be held on Saturday, April the 14th of 2007. Festivities will begin at 6 PM at the Cambridge Yacht Club with a cash bar and proceed to an evening of Sherlockian entertainment. Our Fall Meeting was held on Saturday, October the 28th at the Cambridge Yacht Club in Cambridge, Maryland.
Our hardy group shares the love of the "grand illusion" and the comraderie that comes from braving the foggy streets of London to climb the 17 stairs at 221B Baker Street and sit by the fire with Holmes and Watson. The pleasures are many and we welcome anyone with the passion for these armchair adventures.
