[wellylug] OpenOffice.org course at Newlands College in October

[Rob Giltrap]

I live only a couple of hundred metres from Newlands College and 
'should' be reasonably free on Tuesday nights from October. I am happy 
to help out on the nights (at least the early ones to assist) but am not 
keen on taking the lead. If necessary I could act as a backup presenter 
in case of sickness.

Have you searched the web / asked on forums as I'm sure someone would 
have already developed lesson plans?
