After setup costs I expect income in the first year to
be zero or
negative. Second year I expect income probably would cover travel
expenses but if it did little left over for anything else. Path beyond
that is tricky to predict. WMDE has certain advantages (such as the
language barrier) that WMUK will not.
That's an extremely pessimistic outlook. Why are you bothering to take
part if that's what you think? If we can't make any money in the first
year, how will we make it in future years? And if we're not making any
money, what's the point in having a chapter? We won't be able to do
anything we couldn't do now.
