More radically, you could move the UK wiki to be a project on Meta. 

This would end much of your costs for maintaining the wiki, other than any domain names which you could point there. But more importantly it would include you into Single User Login and cross wiki notifications. So if you pinged someone in a discussion they would know about it next time they were on Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. It would also help lower the barriers against involving that rather large group of Wikimedians who are in the UK but who have had little or no contact with the chapter.

I can’t think of anything we have ever gained from having our own independent Wiki as opposed to a project on Meta, unless you count independence and seperation from the rest of the movement as a positive.

I support Andy's proposal. Some consolidation of communications formats is a very good thing from my point of view. We have so many it's hard to keep track of them all.

I suggest re-merging those pages. The level of traffic is not high and
the benefits of splitting them were never clear.
