Fancy helping?

Be a hero, suggests Robbie Rix

Despite some heroic last-minute efforts, we narrowly failed to reach our £1,750 fighting fund target for September.

The star of the show was comrade GT, who made two bank transfers totalling £120, while SN wrote us a £50 cheque, KP made a £20 PayPal donation and comrades RL and TT both made their usual standing order payments for £10. All that came to £210 - not bad at all in just two days! But it left September’s total a few pounds short, on £1,729. An extra £21 needed in October!

Talking of which, no fewer than 20 standing order contributions have landed in our account during the first five days of the month. Top donors were CG and SD (£30 each), FK (£25), plus DL and II (£20), and all those SOs amounted to £258. There were also two PayPal donations from HJ (£25) and TT (£5), and a cheque from JG for £40, taking the October total to £328.

Last week’s online readership was a little higher than usual, on 3,029, but only three of those comrades were among the donors listed above. Anyone fancy helping us edge up that percentage a bit? Just click on the button and we get the cash straightaway.

Even better, of course, is donating via bank transfer, which involves no charge for either you or us. Please make your payment to account number 00744310 (sort code 30-99-64).
