Excellent.
As for the second question, £25 a year isn't that
much, many charities
suggest £5+ a month.
It depends if you think of it as a charitable donation, or as a
membership fee. It's quite small for the first, quite large for the
second. I would have set the membership fee quite low and encouraged
discretionary donations of a larger amount. It's not a major issue
though - especially as I apparently qualify for the concession rate
anyway. ;)
