Overdue

Our monthly fighting fund has been boosted this week by a "well overdue" donation of £25 from a long-time supporter, FJ. Very much appreciated, comrade.

I wonder if there are any others out there who may be thinking along the same lines? If so, now is the time to rectify previous omissions and send us in your gifts. We have a real chance of making up our entire summer shortfall of £160 this month: thanks to comrade FJ and donations from DG (£25) and NM (£20), our October fund now stands at £358.

Clearly we are in sight of our monthly target of £400, but we need a further £202 in total to finally take us into the black for the whole year. With just under two weeks to go, I am confident we can make it. Prove me right, comrades!
