Success
That rare phenomenon, exceeding (with something to spare) our monthly target, has occurred again. October’s fund netted a total of £542, busting through the £450 we need to break even.
Pride of place in my list of thank-yous this week goes to comrade FD, who wrote us a cheque for £40. Together with a number of smaller contributions and the usual end-of-month regular standing orders, that boosted my receipts by a healthy £152 over the last seven days.
What we need now is a concerted effort over the last two months of the year to take us into the black for 2002. At present our running deficit stands at £134. Clearly not a sum that is beyond our reach - we need something in excess of £500 in both November and December to see us through.
Let’s make sure that October’s success is not wasted.

Honest green Mike Davies
The article ‘Partners or rivals’, published last week, has provoked
this indignant memo from Mike Davies, chair of the Alliance for Green
Socialism. Comrade Davies, from the minority Left Alliance wing of the
newly merged organisation (the other wing being the ex-‘official
communist’ Green Socialist Network), seems to regard himself as the
Arthur Scargill of the AGS, for whom ‘open’ means ‘closed’
and vice versa
