The Omaha Sherlockian Society normally meets on the second Saturday of each month. Meetings are from 10:00 AM until noon, although members and visitors typically arrive a bit early to chat. Depending on the topics being discussed, a meeting may end a bit before noon.
A typical meeting will begin with reports of any events of interest to the members, such as conferences, new books, web sites, and new movies or television shows. Attention then turns to the discussion (or sometimes dissection) of a short story or novel, either from the Canon or a pastiche. The discussion is usually led by a member. The meetings close with reminders of coming activities, and of the item to be discussed at the next meeting.
Because of the pandemic, all recent meetings have been held using Zoom video conferencing software. The topic for each meeting and the Zoom meeting link are normally sent to members in e-mail on the Wednesday preceding the meeting. You can also find that information below.
If you haven't used Zoom for a meeting before, look here for some helpful information in getting started.
