HUNGARIAN SHERLOCK HOLMES CLUB - VIP MEMBERS
HUNGARIAN SHERLOCK HOLMES CLUB
The Hungarian Sherlock Holmes site (sherlock.extra.hu) was founded by the idea of Adrienn Fray (SherlockExtra) in the end of 2010. Actor Laszló Tahi Tóth (the Hungarian voice of Jeremy Brett) gave an interview to our site where he mentioned that Holmes fans should form a society. He became the president of the Club. But since our Hungarian Holmes site intrigued people who do not speak the language, it encouraged us to have an English version. We founded this website: sherlockian-sherlock.com.
FOREIGN VIP MEMBERS

Ales Kolodrubec, internationally recognized Sherlockian, president of the Czech Sherlock Holmes Club (Ceská spolesnost Sherlocka Holmese)
He discovered our Hungarian language Sherlock Holmes site. He sent his congratulations in email, and encouraged us to make an international page. He wrote that although he didn’t understand our language, but the large amount of the articles and the unique illustrations showed him we loved the character very much and worked hard on the site. That’s why he encouraged us to make an English language site to reach much more people. He was sure that foreign Holmes societies will appreciate our work. Fortunately Revati speaks English very well, so we could create an English language site. Mr. Kolodrubec was right, our site sherlockian-sherlock.com became successful.

László Tahi Tóth, Kossuth Prize awarded actor and painter
He lent his voice to Jeremy Brett in the Hungarian dubbed version of the Granada series. He also played Sherlock Holmes in two audiobooks and participated in a radio play about Conan Doyle’s hero.
Mr. Tahi Tóth gave an interview to our Hungarian language site. It was there where he mentioned it would be great to found a club for Sherlock Holmes fans. So The Hungarian Sherlock Holmes Fan Club was his original idea, and he supported it wholeheartedly. SherlockExtra founded the club. Mr. Tahi Tóth became our first VIP member, and he gladly accepted to be the honorary president – by the request of SherlockExtra. He remained our president till his death in 2018, so he could enjoy some of our successes. It’s very important for us to respect and keep his memory. He lives forever in our hearts.

The VIP title is given by the presidency of the Hungarian Sherlock Holmes Club. It can be given to those who have outstanding merits in popularizing Conan Doyle’s hero, or to those who enhance the prestige of Holmes through scientific or artistic works. To make it clear: nobody can buy the VIP title. The only term of getting the title is the activity of good quality and high-standard work. This comes up to Sherlock Holmes as well, because he also thought that hard work is a merit.
VIP members receive a club card with their title.
Vip members do not have to meet all requirements of the Club Regulations. For example, foreign VIP members do not have to speak Hungarian.
