Careless!
Owing to a technical error, my column
was inadvertently omitted from last week’s paper. And just
when I was celebrating our success in smashing through our
£500 target for September.
We didn’t quite make the £750 I was
hoping for, but our total of £730 for the month came pretty
close. It included a very late contribution to our Summer
Offensive from PG, who tells us he suddenly came across a
cheque he wrote two months ago and then mislaid. Careless
again! But never mind the lateness, comrade - we won’t refuse
your £75 donation.
October has also started off quite
promisingly, with £110 already received. Pride of place amongst
the contributions goes to comrade TR, for his usual monthly
cheque, which included a £50 donation. Thanks also to AD and
GK (both £20) and to SS and PH (£10 each).
After all this good news, I’m sure
you’ll forgive me my usual moan: not one donation via our
website yet again. Quite baffling really - we had 14,630 online
readers last week (14,461 the week before), including 1,884
who downloaded the whole paper. But not one of them made use
of our PayPal facility.
This is one area where we really must
do better.
