Does anyone know if it is possible to grow Goji-berries in the UK?

Yes it is, but you need to buy from a UK supplier. Imported Goji can carry a viral disease.
More info: http://www.defra.gov.uk/planth/import/lycium.pdf

Once established they are very hardy, they come from the Himalayas so our climate is ok for them.

From how I understand the defra advice, you can grow from seed safely. I bought some dried goji beries from our local market, I got a farily good sized bag for 50p and got the seeds out of about 1/5th of the bag and ate the rest. I now have plenty of seedling and about 1000 seeds left! It beats paying £10 per plant and risking an illegal import :)
