In the Fall of 2021, 4 devoted Sherlockians determined it was time to organize and recognize those other Sherlockians around the world who have spent much of the 2 preceding years huddled in front of their laptop, IPad, or Smart Phone.  Daily, weekly, and monthly, these devout students of the great master have attended virtual meetings to listen to wonderful speakers from across the spectrum, take quizzes on that month's story from the Canon, listen to adapted radio plays, and numerous other activities surrounding Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, and the literary agent, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, without whom, it would NOT always be 1895.

The founders of the Society chose to use the name "The Legion of Zoom" Society, which had been wonderfully coined for those Sherlockians who were seen on virtual meetings every week by Greg Ruby, BSI.

The Legion of Zoom Society has proudly been officially recognized by the Baker Street Irregulars as a scion society of the BSI.  

Eligibility for the Society by Sherlockians is very simple -- attend virtual meetings held by at least 17 different Sherlockian societies, and send us the list of those meetings.  You will become an official member of the Society, receive a beautiful certificate suitable for framing, a virtual background you can proudly display on future virtual meetings, and receive information on a regular basis concerning activities of the Society.

We have included a list of those societies who have held virtual meetings that you may use a checklist for those you have attended. The list is at the bottom of this page. 

If you would like to join the Society, and meet the eligibility requirement of attending meetings held by at least 17 different Sherlockian societies, you may email the list of meetings to Steve Mason, mason.steve8080@gmail.com.  Obviously, your attendance and submittal of the list is based on the honour system.
