“draw the funds to engage” [VALL]
Information for the 2027 BSI Weekend has been posted to BSIWeekend.com and the BSI website. The BSI website contains only the official events hosted by the BSI, while the BSI Weekend website contains a comprehensive listing of everything happening that weekend.
Attending multiple days of Sherlockian activities in New York City is not an inexpensive undertaking, and in 1989, Tom Stix, Jr., "Wiggins" of the BSI, determined that participation should never be limited by financial means and sought a way to ensure that all who wished to take part could do so. And so, the Dr. John H. Watson Fund was born.
The BSI’s Dr. John H. Watson Fund offers financial assistance to Sherlockians otherwise unable to participate in BSI Weekend festivities. BSI membership is not required. A pseudonymous John H. Watson presides over the fund and welcomes contributions throughout the year; during the BSI Weekend, raffle tickets (for a suitably impressive prize) and an auction help to raise money for the Fund.
Requesting Assistance
Requests for assistance should be sent immediately to Dr. Watson at PW101968@aol.com. Applicants should plan to outline their expenses and how much they can reasonably cover themselves.
To ensure timely processing, the request for assistance deadline is November 15, 2026.
Contributions
Contributions to the fund are passed on, unopened, to Dr. Watson, who will acknowledge all contributions. Checks payable to the John H. Watson Fund may be mailed to Dr. John H. Watson, c/o the Baker Street Irregulars, 9 Calumet Court, Zionsville, IN 46077.
