May Day success?

Hope springs eternal for Robbie Rix.

With just a week to go to raise the £1,750 we need for our April fighting fund, we are on £1,149, meaning we still need £601 by 12 noon on May 1. What a brilliant May Day achievement it would be to hit the target for the first time since we increased it to the new figure last autumn.

Doing his best to ensure that we get there from now on is comrade PD, who not only sent a PayPal donation of £25, but also tells us he has set up a standing order for £20 a month - the first payment will also be on May Day! Excellent, comrade - thanks for that.

KL (£10) was another one who used PayPal (he and PD were among 4,453 online readers last week), while comrades SF (£40) and GT (£10) both sent in useful cheques and JM handed over £20 at the last Communist Platform meeting (the first in what is to be a regular payment). But, as usual, the biggest chunk of all came in the shape of standing orders, totalling no less than £325 - among the donors comrades MM, SK, SEP and PM deserve a special mention.

Anyway, I’m sure all our readers will agree that it will be nicely symbolic if we edge past our target on May 1. And you can make it happen. Why not send in your contribution or, better still, follow PD’s example and set up a standing order too! I hope to hear from you.
