Build on success

As I reported last week, we had already reached our monthly £2,250 target for August’s fighting fund. But I’m pleased to say that the total was boosted further on the last day of the month, thanks to a brilliant £100 donation via PayPal from comrade JP, plus two standing orders from MD and VP (£10 each).

That means we ended the month with £2,424 in the kitty - an excess of £174, which definitely eats into the deficit of the three previous months. Thanks very much to all comrades who contributed, but now we need to keep up the good work in September by following August’s example!

And I’m also pleased to say that after, as I write, just six days, we’ve already received £395 for this month. That’s not bad, but in fact it’s just a little below the going rate - especially as week two is usually the least remunerative of the month.

Anyway, our thanks go to AC (£60), EW (£55), ST and CG (£30 each), MS and BK (£20), not to mention DC, JS, CP, BG, AN, MM, GB, TM, MT, YM, DI, RG and BH - all of whom added to the pot by either bank transfer or standing order. On top of that, NW came up with his usual two monthly PayPal payments, when he adds to his £5 subscription with an extra £25, while MH’s donation via the same method was a tenner.

All good stuff. But now we’re about to enter week two, which is usually the worst of every month, mainly due to the low number of standing orders that come our way then. So if you want to help us out - and play your part in ensuring that the Weekly Worker’s key role in fighting for the principled, democratic-centralist Marxist party is maintained - now would be a very good time to do so!
