The Centre has launched its new website!
This is a more user-friendly system which should allow for more up to date information to be made
available to our visitors and members, alike. And, for the first time allowing on-line booking to take
place,. Our on-line secure payment system via Paypal, is available 24/7 thereby making it easier for
delegates to book their courses electronically, from the comfort of their own homes/offices.
There are links on the website to all the social media pages, so check us out and let us know what you
think. We hope you like it.
As we fast approach our 2nd anniversary of opening, The Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Centre goes from
strength to strength with many more interesting and innovative things for you to try.
In this issue see details of our new Exhibition of Art by Arusha Gallery. We aim to have a continually
changing selection of art available for public viewing as part of our charitable objects to promote the
arts and artists and to provide for the spiritual well-being of society.
Also, coming up is a new Chanting Class on Monday evenings, a new yoga class
on Wednesday afternoons, mindfulness classes and therapy days—see the web-
site for more details.
Christmas is coming and we’ve planned another fun-filled Christmas Party Night
for Palmerston. This time, it’s going to be fancy dress time. All that we ask is that
you come in as festive an outfit as possible. There will be a prize for the most
festive outfit and to get the party going you’ll get a glass of bubbly, mince pies and
crackers. Tickets are only £10.
Finally, I’d like to thank everyone for their support during 2013 and I look forward
to welcoming you back to The Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Centre in 2014.
See our Exhibition of Art!

Kathryn is a Minister of the SNU, serving Churches throughout the UK as a Speaker and Demonstrator.
Kathryn also holds workshops both in the UK and abroad. As well as tutoring healing at the Arthur

the deeper states of spirit control and has continued to develop Altered State Healing, sometimes called
Trance Healing, as well as Cain Healing. This workshop aims to introduce and guide students in working
in these altered states so that their own connection with spirit becomes more tangible for themselves
and other to witness.

FILM SCREENING Saturday 9 November 2013 2pm Tickets: £5
The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970)
Dir. Billy Wilder / USA / Colour / 125 minutes
Who would have thought one of Hollywood's greatest directors would have shot a film in the
Scottish Highlands? This special screening is showing as part of the Year of Natural Scotland
celebrations.
Overlooked on its release as just a pastiche, this 1970s take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's
Sherlock Holmes story is now regarded as a cult gem. Directed by the great Billy Wilder (Some
Like It Hot/Sunset Boulevard), it is shot through with humour, intelligence and vivid colour.
As part of the 2013 Year of Natural Scotland, these screenings showcase how feature films,
documentaries and television have represented, imagined and re-imagined Scotland’s natural
landscapes, wildlife and biodiversity. How much of how we view Scotland is shaped by the
images we see on screen? And how do Scotland’s natural resources inspire filmmakers? These
films suggest some answers. Natural Scotland on Screen is a partnership project between
Creative Scotland and Scottish Natural Heritage.
This is another ‘first’ for The Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Centre—come and support this film show-
ing. What else are you going to do on a dark, November afternoon!!! Includes a cup of tea!
Art
Exhibition
As part of our charitable aims to provide for the mental,
physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of society, we
aim to have a regular display of art available for public view-
ing at The Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Centre.
We are currently displaying an exhibition of art from
some of the country’s finest young artists whose
styles and processes include spiritual and shamanic
art. The exhibition includes a contemporary and
eclectic collection of both painting and sculpture to
suit many different styles and personal artistic tastes.
Our current exhibition is hosted by Arusha Gallery.
To find out more information about any of the art-
works and artists currently on display at the centre,
visit www.arushagallery.com or talk to a member of
staff who will be happy to advise you.
