The chapters still can't do such things locally in a financially feasible manner, i.e. one that doesn't result in boxes of shirts under the bed forever. (Been there, got the box of T-shirts. I think we gave them to the local charity shop after ten years.) Current rules are that chapters can make stuff at no profit, only for members. This is, in practice, completely unworkable and functionally equivalent to declaring it impossible.
The no profit rule was apparently just a WMUK idea that was resoundingly rejected on our mailing list.
