Near miss

Thanks very much to all the comrades who made last-minute donations to try and ensure we reached that £2,750 Weekly Worker fighting fund target for March. An excellent £551 was received in the last six days of the month, but unfortunately that left us exactly £100 short!

Many thanks to JC (£70), RL (£60), AG (£50), MW (£30), JT, BK and BH (£25 each), AB and JP (£20), IS (£17), JM (£15), JD and MD (£10) and AR (£5) - all via standing order or one-off bank transfer. Then we had our PayPal donors: JB and DB (£50), ES (£8), plus DI and AC (£5). Finally, GB handed £50 in cash to a comrade on last Saturday’s Together Alliance demonstration in London, while an anonymous comrade added a pound coin.

As I say, all that came to £551, which, when added to the £2,099 previously received, took us up to £2,650 - short, but not by much. But let’s not worry too much about that - these things happen. So now we want to make sure we not only reach that target in April but also make up for March’s shortfall.

And, with just one day gone, as I write, we already have £289 in the kitty! Thanks very much to comrades BO and LC (£50 each), TG (£25), PR (£24), DL, MT and SJ (£20), CP (£16), AN and BG (£15), MR (£13), MM (£11) and DI (£10). They all came in via SO/bank transfer and amounted to £289 - not bad for just one day!

So now let’s make sure we not only make up for March’s near miss but go shooting past that £2,750 target in April. You can do it!
