Liquid assets

Summer Offensive ‘99

As the official end of this year’s Summer Offensive looms, the total received stands at close on £11,500, representing 75% of the pledges given at the beginning of our two-month fund drive. We are confident that all the pledges will be met and many surpassed - several of our comrades are now veterans of these campaigns and have had few problems with raising the extra funds.

However, the achievement of the total pledged (around £15,000) would leave us well short of our £25,000 target.

Our EU election campaign has left our funds at rock bottom. A failure to come near this target would adversely affect our ability to influence events and limit our power to intervene.

We are appealing again to those supporters and sympathisers who have yet to contribute. Even if your assets are not particularly liquid just at present, we are prepared to accept IOUs before the end of the Offensive, on July 10. Please rush them to Centre by phone, fax or e-mail.

And speaking of liquidity, July 10 sees the celebratory event to mark the end of this year’s campaign. Places are limited for the SO meal, so please contact us soon as possible.
