I rather fear that hosting Wikimania is a bit like the Olympics or the Eurovision song contest, a dubious honour that saps more from the host organisation than it generates. That said if there are a keen group of people who want to organise a UK Wikimania I have no objection to it being here in 2014 or 2015.
There may be some truth in that. I think if we're going to host it here we need the chapter to play a major role in the more tedious parts of the organisation and implementation.
My two cents would be that the big events should not be allowed to drive out the more grassrootsy things.
