Sorry, your statement is confusing. Your last email appeared to
indicate that no checks had been made and that I should do it myself
if I had any questions. Apart from looking at the BBM and BTWSC
websites (which appear unmaintained for several years), precisely what
checks did Wikimedia UK ensure before holding a joint event in 2013
and promoting another in 2014. For example did you or one of your
employees check whether they are registered at Companies House or ask
whether the two organizations comply with UK regulations for not for
profits?

I would like to know before duplicating your work.
