Below par
As readers will know, because of rising costs we have been obliged to increase not only our subscription prices, but the monthly target for the Weekly Worker fighting fund.
This month our comrades have been involved in sending numerous reminders to those subscribers who have not yet increased their subs - most of them respond quickly, and immediately arrange to up their regular payments. A good example this week was comrade JB, who not only increased his sub from the old rate of £5 per month to £8, but also set up a new regular monthly payment of £50. Brilliant, comrade!
Having said that, there are still a good number who have not yet responded to our request. If you’re one of them, please make the required change as soon as possible!
Anyway, over the last week a number of handy contributions have come our way. In addition to JB, thanks also to PM (another £50 donation!), MS (£25), and AR (£5). All the above were via PayPal, while comrade Hassan handed his regular £5 note to one of our comrades.
Then there was the usual batch of standing orders, as well as one-off bank transfers. Thanks here go to PB (£70), TR (£40), TW (£25), OG (£24), SA (£12), PM and CC (£10 each) and MD (£8).
All that came to £334 raised in the last seven days, taking our running total up to £907. But unfortunately that is well below par, as more than half the month has now gone and the target is, of course, £2,750! So we haven’t yet reached even a third of what we need!
True, we’re about to enter that part of the month where a number of substantial standing orders come our way, but, on their own, they’ll be nowhere near enough to get us home. So can you help? Please send us a cheque, make a bank transfer or click on our PayPal button. For help in doing any of the above please go to the web address below.
Let’s make sure we reach that target!
