I am not a solicitor but I am an accountant with experience of company formation. I am willing to arrange this for Wikimedia UK (whether or not I am on the Board) if they want - the only cost will be the £20 Companies House registration fee. I know a friendly JP who has agreed to witness Form 12s for me in the past so that shouldn't be a problem.
Not being a solicitor I can't offer any advice on any other legal matters.
regards,
Andrew Turvey

A friendly JP could be good. If possible, I'd like to run things by a solicitor and make sure we're setting things up in the best way possible, but it's not worth paying much for, so if everyone's going to charge large fees it may well be best to just do it ourselves and get the form witnessed by somebody's friend.
