hopefully there will even be something left over for travel expenses
Nope. One of the reasons I've been bringing up the geographical issue a lot is that realistically were are unlikely to be able to cover travel expenses in the first few years.
If you are not in the same city as the other board memebers you could end up racking up say £200 in travel costs.
Few years? How many face to face meeting are you anticipating, and how little in terms of income do you expect the organisation to get (assuming it get through setting up etc. okay to last a few years)?

After setup costs I expect income in the first year to be zero or negative. Second year I expect income probably would cover travel expenses but if it did little left over for anything else. Path beyond that is tricky to predict. WMDE has certain advantages (such as the language barrier) that WMUK will not.
