[Wikimediauk-l] Yes, another charity wants your money

2012-07-09 Thread Gordon Joly


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.


https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/get-involved/donate-now

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.

amp; why not? :-)
