The last issue of The
Brontë Society Gazette is now out (Issue 44. September 2007 ISSN 1344-5940). It has to be noted that the new editor is Coreen Turner (also Vice-Chairman of the Brontë Society Council, Honorary Publications Secretary and Membership Committee).

There's even good news in the financial state of the Brontë Society:
As usual we are monitoring the finances of the Society very closely. New streams of income are being looked at and I hope to be able go give a good report on this in my next letter in February 2008.
