Summer Offensive

Good start
We have got off to a good start to our October fund with a very generous £50 donation from comrade TR, who is obviously feeling very flush, having sent us £30 just last week.

Just as pleasing are two other sizeable contributions - of £40 and £25, from KJ and FS respectively. Together with a number of smaller cheques, these gifts have taken our total to £155 after the first week. But we are still a long way off our monthly target, which, as I announced last week, has been raised for October only to £750 (up from our usual £500 requirement). The dire state of much of our IT equipment means that we need the extra cash immediately (if not sooner).

So, while our first seven days’ haul for October is well above the average - particularly for the first week of the month - it is nothing to shout about: we still need another £595 in only three weeks. I would ask all readers, supporters and sympathisers to make a special effort to take us through what I’m sure will be a short-term difficulty.

Incidentally, our total readership still hovers just below the 10,000 mark - last week we recorded a total of 8,147 e-readers. We need a lot more of you contributing.
