Also what level of support can we expect from you and the rest of the board in a Wikimania bid (Oxford or elsewhere)? WM UK obviously stand to benefit substantially were we successful (donations, media attention etc.) but for this to happen we certainly need all the help we could get.
I suspect the thing WMUK can mostly offer at present is the name and any magic pixie dust powers that might be perceived to have - the address, "supported by," etc. Which is pretty good really. And a line to WMF. (The Wikimania judges are, I'm afraid, utterly incorruptible, but if you need the WMF being fluffy in an appropriately nonfavouritist way it's feasible to some extent. I think.)
