The hosting options and annual costs would have to be looked at. I think it could be set up that you would have to have a log-in to view and post pictures on the gallery but that hosting for posting TM would work.

In a case like this the images of past members would still be kept and displayed for as long as sufficient TM members were prepared to anti up for the gallery hosting costs.

I would be prepared to help set it up but I think that there are some logical reasons why it should be set up with nominal UK resident administrators. Perhaps some sort of nominal association or club so that the hosting and domain name is not in a single individual's name.

Of course this could also be set up in TM's existing web space too but would no doubt require higher hosting charges.

I have found what I think may be a suitable package deal which would allow suitable image hosting.

It would cost about $USD 70.00 a year. I think it may be worth considering.

I will put details in the "TM: Info, Ideas & Suggestions" Forum.
