I've seen a number of articles on line that have been rather anti-Undershaw. However most of these people are missing the point. This was not just a fight about saving a home of one of our country's greatest writers. It was wider than that.

Undershaw Saved
The High Court has overturned the planning permission that would see Undershaw carved up.
It's a WIN!
Now the hard work begins.....
Update 31/5/2012
Many people have been asking what happens now? As I'm not on the inside I cannot answer that but I suggest we let the UPT and other involved parties get on with their tasks. We shall be informed as soon as is appropriate.
A new reviewing system
I've been much impressed of late with Ross K and his reviews (no doubt due to getting some nice ones from him). As those of you familiar with his reviews will know, he awards from 1 - 6 Napoleons.

I have gone back through some of my most recent reviews and added ratings. I shall use the pip system from here on in.

Undershaw - What do we do while we wait?
So, you might possibly be asking, what do we do while we wait for the judge's verdict re Undershaw?
Well the most important thing is that we keep the subject in the public eye. So, in other words, we should not change from how we acted before the Judicial Review took place.
Here are my suggestions:
1) - Tweet the case regularly using hashtag #saveundershaw
2) - Buy my book "An Entirely New Country" - 50% of net royalties are dontated to the UPT links here
3) - Buy "Sherlock's Home" - a collection of articles, stories and poems from fans who are concerned about the house's fate. Amazon (UK) Amazon (US)
4) - Visit the Save Undershaw shop. All proceeds go into the running the awareness campaign
5) - And don't forget......

Next SHSL event
The next big event on the SHSL calendar is the trip down the Thames in the footsteps (or perhaps - wake) of the Aurora.
The Sign of Four is my favourite Sherlock Holmes story so this is something I am looking forward to immensely. See you there if you have booked passage.
Please note: At the recent SHSL AGM it was reported that the event was fully booked.
