We (Hobby Unix Users group) in The Netherlands do the same.
We charge f1,50 per floppy for members, f2,50 for non-members.

It is very popular (the price is under the normal shop price of a floppy).

And we have a lot of Linux users. We always supply people with a
version 2 or 3 days behind the releases of Linus.
