I have been following the transfer from British Waterways to "Canal & River Trust". They have now begun business, and as a registered charity, they want your money.

"CRT" have launched "Friends" package.
**** Become a Friend today and as part of your Friends pack you’ll receive discounts to museums and attractions, and lots more benefits to help you get even more out of your visits to the waterways. ****
Wikimedia UK has members, but no Friends. Perhaps this should change?

P.S. Nobody in their right mind would use an ampersand in their legal name in the age of the web, would they?

Interesting idea; but, what's going to catch people's attention more would be "Friends of Wikipedia". That might be worth pushing up to the WMF, and across to Cultural Partners (list currently down). What people could be offered in-return for becoming Friends is kinda hard to see.
