The Autumn 2014 George Borrow Bulletin is now out
(Series 2, No. 9) and members should have received their copy in
November 2014.
The Bulletin has the papers from our memorable Peterborough Weekend in April 2014, together with photographs. Lavengro Press was launched at Peterborough and in the Bulletin there’s an article together with a list of publications, available and forthcoming.
In a slight departure from past issues, this Bulletin does not have any substantive main articles, but instead nine shorter items contributed by our members. For those who enjoy longer articles, see the Peterborough talks at the back.
The next edition of the George Borrow Bulletin is being prepared and should be out in Spring 2015. Contributors please note that the deadline for contributions is 31st January 2015. Also a gentle reminder: subscription renewals will be due 1st April 2015.
