Testing the link

Robbie Rix says we have to step up the pace over the next couple of weeks

Our fund received a big boost last week in the shape of a tremendous £100 cheque from comrade TG.

After a poor couple of weeks in terms of snail mail, it was nice to get more than one donation that way. As well as TG’s big one, there were donations from GF (£25) and DS (£20), not to mention the fiver that DC added to his re-subscription.

The gifts received via our website were more modest, but just as welcome. Thanks to EJ, who wondered why I didn’t mention his £5 last week (sorry, comrade, I just forgot!), and to GJ, who stumped up precisely £1. Unlike EJ, he didn’t leave any message, so perhaps he was just testing the link to see if it worked. It does, comrade, and our November fighting fund has gone up as a result! Anyway, £6 via PayPal is definitely at the lower end of our expectations - especially as the number of visits to our website seems to be on the up again: we had 11,252 last week.

We also received some handy standing order gifts, including from RMB (£50) and CG (£20). In all our total increased by £266, pushing it up to £455. But we need £1,250 and we have to step up the pace over the next couple of weeks. Can you help?
