Summer Offensive

Out of the blue
Just as I was beginning to wonder by how much we would fall short of our £500 monthly target, a rather agreeable surprise arrived out of the blue.

It came in the shape of a handsome cheque from comrade JS. Sending in his annual subscription renewal to the Weekly Worker, he decided to add a little donation: £200, no less! Too modest to drop us a covering note, the comrade let his money do the talking. Thank you, JS. We needed that.

I also received two smaller cheques of £20 from GK and DA, not to mention a useful £10 donation via our PayPal facility from GT. Our March total reached £540, thanks to all these gifts. Unlike comrade JS, I am not too modest to bask in your appreciation of our paper’s role, nor to appeal to other readers to follow their example.

A few more like GT, who reads us on the web, would be pretty useful too. Last week 8,658 visited www.cpgb.org.uk - but 8,657 of them didn’t think to leave us anything. Never mind - there’s always next week, when we start the long haul for another £500.
