Summer Offensive

Extra boost
Another poor week, I’m afraid. The total of £60 in my mailbox takes our September fund to £215, with less than two weeks to go to achieve our £500 monthly target.

Our internet readers will have noticed that last week’s paper was very late in making an appearance on the CPGB website. The last print issue was also rather faint. In the main this is because our webmaster and chief layout artist is away in Cuba on honeymoon for three weeks. So in terms of personnel we have had to draft in less experienced comrades. Delays and glitches are inevitable in such circumstances. However, part of the problem is technical - some of our hardware is just not up to the job.

Part of the solution lies in training new comrades. We are doing our best here. But we also require money, not just to help cover our normal monthly running costs - printing, post, telephones, etc - but towards new equipment.

What we could do with right now is a big boost in terms of donations to allow us to upgrade our decrepit equipment. Can I therefore ask readers to make a special effort? We need to reach £500 quickly and go a good way past.

Thanks this week go to comrades RJ, VS (£20 each), FJ (£10), HP and LK (£5 apiece). But next week I’d like to report several times that number of contributions.
