Generosity

Our September fund total has more than doubled, reports Robbie Rix

Another big boost to September’s fighting fund came in the form of a brilliant £200 cheque from LP, who was unable to attend the CPGB’s Communist University this year because of family illness.

He usually provides us with a cash boost at our annual school, which he was very disappointed at having to miss in 2011. Thanks for your usual generosity, comrade, and don’t forget - there’s always next year’s CU! In the meantime the Weekly Worker is publishing many of the opening presentations (this week’s article on programme by Mike Macnair is based on his talk, for instance).

The other gift that came in the post this week was a little more modest, but just as welcome nonetheless. Thank you, PM, for the extra fiver enclosed with your resubscription. We also received two donations via our online PayPal facility, from TR (£20) and KO (£10) - two of our 13,383 internet readers over the last seven days.

And, of course, we mustn’t forget this week’s standing orders, which added up to another £155 - £45 of which from comrades who answered our Summer Offensive appeal for increased regular donations. That’s made up of a new £25 donation from DT and two £10 increases (DV and DW).

Thanks to all those comrades, our September fund total has more than doubled and now stands at £760. We need £1,250 by the end of the month. Any of you internet readers fancy helping us get there? Just click on the ‘Make a donation’ button.
