The Brontë Society Gazette- Issue 40

The April issue of the Brontë Gazette (Issue 40) is already available. The Gazette editor is Richard Wilcocks (who also runs the Brontë Parsonage Blog where some news that now appear in the Gazette were previously posted). By the way, Mr. Wilcocks is also on the news because as the Gazette reports:

A message from the Chairman.

I hope members will understand when I tell them that I feel that I am unable to continue as Chairman at a time when very trying family circumstances are taking up much of my time and energy. Until the AGM in June, my role will be taken over by the Society Vice-chairman Richard Wilcocks, who has all my best wishes. Ruth Battye

So, even if these aren't the ideal circumstances, congratulations to Mr. Wilcocks.
