The Curious Collectors of Baker Street
The Curious Collectors of Baker Street

Welcome to our eighteenth year and five great Sherlockian events!
PLEASE NOTE:  Avoid disappointment:  We must have your check in hand by the date stated for each program.  Time and location will be forwarded to you with details of each event.  Interference by Moriarty or the postal system is not an acceptable excuse!  We always schedule events on weekends, making it easier for you to attend.  We will also be e-mailing notices, so be certain that we have your E-mail address.  Although our events are open to the public, our members have preference.  Dues are $20 for a single, $30 for a family.  Are you current?  This entitles you to special discounts and other offerings.  We encourage the wearing of Victorian costume to our events, but it is never mandatory.  Alas, we are unable to accomodate special dietary needs at our events.

For information, contact the CCOBS:
Jerry Kegley, 9338 Sophia Ave., North Hills, CA 91343

Our paid up dues members are invited to participate in our annual attendance contest!  Only those who attend each of our first four events will qualify to win an original 1888 edition of The Illustrated London News to be awarded at our September event.  This is our way of honouring those members who support the CCOBS.
