Even better

Robbie Rix congratulates

Congratulations to all comrades who contributed to February’s fighting fund, which, thanks to the £250 raised over the last week, raised a total of £1,827 for the Weekly Worker. In other words, a surplus of £77 over and above the £1,750 target. Not bad for the shortest month of the year!

More than that, we almost eliminated January’s £86 deficit - another surplus of just £9 in March will see us there!

The highlights of the week were three £50 donations: first comrade JT’s regular standing order, then the PayPal contribution from comrade IS (who says he can’t wait for Mike Macnair’s next book) and finally the same amount in cash from comrade PB, who handed it over to the editor at last Sunday’s London Communist Forum.

There were a further four standing orders totalling £45, plus two other PayPal donations from ML (£20) and CT (£5). Finally the Turkish restaurateur round the corner from the Weekly Worker office has come to know one of our comrades and also appreciate the contents of our paper. Another fiver for the fighting fund!

All in all, a successful month. Let’s see if we can do even better in March.
