The creation of the Shingles of Southsea.

I created the Shingles of Southsea on 19th December 2017.
The intention was to get a Portsmouth and Southsea Holmesian group started. It seems only right that the city which gave birth to the great detective should have a society dedicated to him.
Unfortunately, I am the most unsociable and unclubable man in town. As such, since our creation I have failed to recruit any more members. So I've decided to singularise the society's name and carry on regardless and friendless.
Below is a copy of the society's first newsletter which I published on the day of creation. Note the in depth writings and high quality artwork. Expect more of the same going forward.

    Or as John Bennett Shaw put it, “to have a Sherlockian meeting you need two Sherlockians and a bottle, but if necessary, one of the Sherlockians could be dispensed with.”

    I don't think Shaw specified the contents of the bottle.
