Commendable
Robbie Rix very much appreciates every donation
Our very much curtailed August fighting fund pulled in £580 in the two weeks or so since the end of the CPGB’s Summer Offensive fundraising drive. This is a bit short of the £650 target I was hoping to achieve, but is commendable nevertheless, considering we are still in the holiday season.
That fact has also been demonstrated in the low number of online readers we had last week - less than 10,000 again, or 9,340, to be precise. But three of them - DW, TB and LL - came up with donations. In DW’s case his £15 gift came on top of a year’s subscription to this paper and the purchase of six CPGB books - that adds up to £90 all told.
Standing order donations totted up to £145 last week - varying from HG’s fiver to JT’s £50 - but every one of them is very much appreciated. Then there was a £20 cheque from DV, which comes on top of his regular monthly contribution. Thanks go to each and every one of our financial supporters, whether by cheque, PayPal or standing order.
But now we need to step up our fundraising. We need £1,250 every full calendar month and we must ensure that target is reached in September.
