Winter storage?

Winter storage?
Hi guys,
I recently bought my first '95 WRX (great fun). Although winter is soon approaching, I want to put her into storage in my garage for six months.
Shes in a heated garage and will be getting her own winter coat soon (car cover), But from a technical point of view. What would you recommend I do so damage is avoided while not being used, regarding the following:-
Battery - disconnect, or leave on charger, or run once a month?
Oil - Change now, or when she arises next year?
Start her up once a week or once a month or never?
Radiator water?
Petrol - Whole tank, or as little as possible?
Basically anything I can do to keep her well during her long sleep would be appreciated?
Thanks.

No its not a p*ss take, I run several cars. I agree ,it probably is great for adverse conditions, but as I have a garage and have no need to run it over the winter, and its in very good condition, I wanted to know how to store a car properly.
Thanks for the advice 'Brit in Japan'.
