Increased target

With, as I write, four days still to go before the end of our March fighting fund, I’m pleased to announce that we’ve already exceeded the £1,750 target by just short of £100 - the running total stands at £1,849.

This is very good news - especially as we’ve decided that we’ll have to raise our monthly target to take into account this week’s rise in stamp prices, together with the recent slight increase in our printing costs. So from April the new target will be £2,000, but recent results - not least this month’s! - have convinced me that we’ll be able to raise the extra we need.

This week saw standing orders from DG (£60), JT (£50), AR (£10) and from BB, JC, SS and GT, who all came up with their usual £15 monthly donation. On top of that, comrades DR (£20) and BC (£10) decided to add a little to their subscription cheques, while new subscriber JK donated a fiver via PayPal.

His accompanying message noted that this was a “small donation”, but it represented “a token of thanks for a happy first month of print subscription”. It’s much appreciated, comrade! And £5 extra from a lot more of our readers would make a great deal of difference.

As for the current fund, will we be able to make that so far rarely achieved £2,000? We can do it - especially if a few more comrades click on our PayPal button or - better still - make a bank transfer (sort code 30-99-64; account number 00744310). Any offers?
