Loose change

After last week’s £200 boost from comrade KO, it’s back to the rather more mundane - and disappointing - level of contributions to our fighting fund. A mere £62 came in over the last seven days.

And here was I thinking we were set fair to exceed our £500 target. But we have only reached £367, with just five days to go. To be more precise, we have £366.81p, seeing as a rather unusual amount was received via our website - £1.81 precisely from comrade JS. That’s the first time I’ve ever known someone getting rid of their loose change using a credit card!

The comrade was one of 16,618 visitors - almost a thousand up on the previous week. But he was the only one to use our PayPal facility. All the other donations came via the post - and very welcome they were. Thanks go to comrades TG (£25), OL (£15), HR and SW (£10 each). But we still need £123 to achieve our May fund. Can you help us out?
