Do your bit

Well done, everyone! We managed to squeeze past that £2,750 Weekly Worker fighting fund target for April!

On April 29 I reported that we were just £22 short with just a day left and, sure enough, three comrades chipped in on the last day of the month. In fact comrade JS transferred exactly £22, while MD donated £10 and AS added £4 to his £96 annual subscription to make a nice, round £100. In other words, we exceeded the target by £14!

To be honest, I was hoping for a bigger excess, to make up for the shortfall in March, but, not to worry, let’s do that this time around, in May! And we’ve had a more than useful start to the month, with £615 already received after just six days.

The largest contribution came from comrade AC with his £100, while the same JS who transferred £22 on the last day of April did us another favour: he’s had to leave home to look after his elderly mother for some time, so he said we should stop sending him the paper - even though he’s just paid his own £96 annual sub! But no refund, thank you - add that amount to the fighting fund too, he says!

Other bank transfers/standing orders came from LC, BO and AG (£50 each), MM (£31), CG (£30), RG (£25), LM (£24), DL and MT (£20), IS (£17), CP (£16), AN (£15), RM (£13), RP (£12), MM (£11), DI (£10) and BG (5). On top of that comrades MH (£10), TM and JN (£5 each) played their part using PayPal.

So now we have to make sure that we go shooting past that £2,750 target in May! How about £3,000 this month? That would really help us out. Please do your bit if you can.
