Brian McNeil:
Look at National Trust membership fees:
In my opinion, a little steep - but I believe
they've secured a rather
nice members benefits package.
But the NT, as far as I know, do not have regular public fundraisers like WM
does (meaning a large part of their income is from memberships), and since
NT membership waives the entrance fee for NT properties (which is often
quite high), it's not impossible for them to *lose* money on memberships.
NT also has much higher unavoidable overhead; WM-UK could operate on almost
nothing without going bankrupt.
