Annual Convention, 2023

We had an enjoyable and stimulating weekend at University College London 11th August to 14th August, with excellent talks by Professor BJ Rahn, author Kate Jackson, Dr Seth Thevoz, Chair Seona Ford, Dr Jane Hockings, Neil Godber, Archivist Alison Hall and a group discussion with members on ‘It Pays to Advertise’.

On Sunday, some of us attended a service at St Anne’s, Soho, where DLS was a Church Warden, after which we had a choice of Wimsey Walks in Bloomsbury, the West End and the Embankment, celebrating the London novels of Sayers: Whose Body?, The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club, Murder Must Advertise, Strong Poison and Unnatural Death.

Although the last title takes place mostly elsewhere there are events in London. We also added a little bit of the first chapter of Gaudy Night. Please see our Bulletin in September for full accounts of our activities. Not a member? You can request a copy copy of the members’ Bulletin here.
