My barrister friend has agreed to look over the AoA and MoA for us at least, but it's
not his area of speciality and he wouldn't be covered under his legal indemnity
insurance, so we should view it as completely informal, unofficial advice. But still,
better than nothing I imagine.

Subject: [Wikimediauk-l] We can't afford solicitors
Ok, it's official, solicitors charge way too much (anyone particularly
surprised?). I've just got a rough budget from a solicitor
specialising in charities and for them to have a "light touch
involvement" in us getting registered with the appropriate authorities
will cost "between £1200 to £1500 (plus VAT)" (given their hourly
rates, that comes to about 6 hours work, God knows how they call that
"light touch" - it's just a few modifications to the models and a
couple of forms!). I think we'll have to do it ourselves, hope we
don't make any particularly serious mistakes and just find someone to
witness it (which is what WER did, I believe - it seems the only way).
