So far this quarter we have received £271.75. That is just over a lenth of what we need in almost a third of the time we have to get it.

Obviously this means that Socialist Challenge is going to have to rake a long hard look al elself and where it is going after the general clection.

Wehope you all agree that the work we have been doing in across d -WHOSE Challenge 26 April 1979 page 2 alternative Callaghan's policies in the general election will be all the more vital after 3 May.

But there's no way we can carry on without the money needed to meet our bis and to do that we need to average a minimum of £190 a week. If all our readers gave a few week through whip-rounds, football cards (available from SC) or moral persuasion we would cover our costs.

It's a smaller probtent at your end than at ours, so please give us a helping hand.
