There are too many variables to state whether i will or not. Firstly when and where the AGM is gonna be will make a difference. I'm moving to cardiff permanently for uni in september so not the best time in the world really. Plus it depends on how other things in real life go. I cannot commit myself at this time.

Only up to £5000 pounds, and as far as I am aware, we would be handling much larger amounts than that. So as a temporary measure to get membership fee's etc tax reimbursed would be fine, but it wouldn't work during the annual fundraiser. For that, the charity registration would be necessary.
