Help us out

Robbie Rix says that we need extra - and soon

Once again we need a last-minute spurt in contributions if we are to reach our £1,250 fighting fund target for the month.

With just four days to go, including the weekend, we are £262 short. We have £988, after some brilliant gifts over the last seven days, but the lacklustre start to the month has left us still lagging behind. That means we are now largely relying on some speedy credit/debit card donations via our website.

And we didn’t have many of them this last week - just £10 each from LT and NB, plus a fiver added to her subscription from comrade WD. Three out of a total of 14,396 internet readers is not a high proportion. But we did get three handy cheques in the post - £30 from DE, £25 from KG and £20 from WR. And RB also added a tenner to his sub.

Then, as usual, I had a number of those regular-as-clockwork standing order transfers (including this week a magnificent £230 from SK), all of which added £385 to our total for February. Thanks to all comrades for their generosity and devotion to the cause.

But we need that extra £262 by 12 noon on Monday March 1. Can you help us out?
