Two days to raise £182

Why not send Robbie Rix a pound or two before he leaves us during the Summer Offensive?

This column will be replaced for a couple of months by the CPGB’s Summer Offensive fundraiser - we are within touching distance of our £1,500 target. Thanks to the total of £243 received this week, we now have £1,318 in the bag. But there are only two days to go!

This week pride of place goes to PM for his £80 donation, made by bank transfer, with JT’s regular standing order of £75 coming a close second. There were also standing orders received from SP, GD, DO and EL. And then I got a nice pledge of a new one from NR - he’s going to stump up £18 a quarter for his subscription (an extra £6).

Thanks also to comrade PB for adding £10 to his resubscription cheque and to RP for his £10, contributed via PayPal. But, despite the generosity of these comrades, we still need £182 by close of play on Saturday June 30. What I really need is for comrades to make a bank or PayPal transfer as soon as they read this, so the money lands in the Weekly Worker account by Friday.

As there were 8,434 online readers of this paper last week, how about just 182 of you paying £1 via the website? That would see us home. Just get out your card and click on ‘Make a donation’ - I would love to hear from you.

Anyway, have a good summer - this column will be back in September.
