Still a very smart idea though and definitely one worth keeping on the back burner for a time when we can use it
Perhaps for a future discussion for the membership with the Wikimedia UK Board Mark 2 later this year?

I can not really imagine any tangible benefits that WMUK can provide. After all, our purpose is to make knowledge free, it would seem counter-intuitive to close anything off to be members-only.
One that occurs to me is that perhaps WMUK could negotiate with GLAMs that WMUK members get a preferential rate to enter exhibitions and the like.
However, I think that would have to be some way off in the future, I don't get the impression that WMUK is big enough or has the spare man hours to try and get that off the ground at the moment. But maybe one day...
