On approval
Our February fund is still
proceeding very slowly, having now crept up to £195. With
more than half of the month gone (and February has only 28 days,
remember), we are quite some way away from our £500 target.
I can report three very welcome donations received via our website,
however, with prime of place going to comrade HG for his £50
donation. We also received another £20 from LW (who must
now be amongst our most prolific online donors) and £5
from TVT. Again, though, I have to point out that these three
represent a very small return from the 11,511 who read us at
cpgb.org.uk last week - just under 700 of them downloaded the
whole of last week’s paper.
(Talking of downloads, I notice from our website stats that,
as I write, the 600th copy of Jack Conrad’s book, Remaking
Europe, has just been downloaded - not recommended for those
with dial-up, but a piece of cake for broadband users. Mind
you, since we let you have it indefinitely on approval, a few
more contributions to the cost of the book’s production
would not go amiss.)
Thanks also this week to comrades FD (£20) and FI (£15),
who both dropped us a cheque via Royal Mail. But, with only
11 days to raise £305, we really need the pace of contributions
to be stepped up
