Has anybody's guild/association been through the process of becoming a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)?

Sussex County Association is currently an 'Unincorporated Charitable Association', which means that the organisation's liability is not limited to its assets, i.e. the named trustees are potentially financially liable. We are looking into becoming a CIO (liability is limited to the organisation's assets - which should enable a much more diverse group of trustees). I'd be really interested to hear the experiences of any other guild/association who has done this, or is in the process of doing it.

TIA :-)
