So hopefully there may be some visitors to the Exeter lug site where I have a set up a section for raspberry pI users. Give me a few weeks and I may have some results from the school I work at, In the meantime if anyone has children at a local primary / secondary school maybe its worth making enquiries about if the school may be getting some, I could possibly help providing a school pays me of course. I am not asking people here to commit to going in to schools and helping, but there are other people here on the list who are willing to, what is needed is for people to be able to be in touch with the schools that want help, the last thing I thing any of us would want is for schools to avoid getting raspberry Pis due to lack of support etc or fear of lack of support. To be honest I find trying to communicate with some adults on IT issues very frustrating. Will put a few posters up at the rugby club, and talk to the players there, ask them to ask at school, and of course talk to the parents and see if they can make the school aware they know people who can help.
