I don't understand what this means.

Were there some renewals or were they all new memberships? Did Ashford pro-actively recruit these people, or did they convert incoming enquiries?

18.67% of income raised went to party/campaign funds.
That 18.67% = £100,000 give or take a few pounds.
So Ashford retained some £430,000? Even after expenses I suspect that's quite a profit.

I had a call from Ashford a few months back soliciting a donation to support the "successful petition campaign" (whatever that was). So if I had given £100, UKIP would have got under £19?

If that's correct, I don't call it success. I call it a scandal.
