On target

After ending August in the black we are well on target to make, and maybe even surpass, our monthly target of £450 this time around as well. Thanks this week go to comrades TR (£35), PO (£25), FG (£20), LK (£15), SD (£10), MD (£10) and GB (£5). This gives us a total of £120 to add to last week’s £65, taking us up to £185 for September. If comrades make an extra effort and rush me their donations early then we should be able to achieve our £450 target for a second successive month.
