Thanks, I live in Cheshire so shouldn't be too difficult to get to Liverpool. I believe they also have a store in Manchester. There's a possible little earner for someone to produce a set of manuals for the VO community, isn't there?

Pending that, the Apple store has one on one sessions. I have heard from blind users in the states these can be very good and the staff is usually familiar with VO. I think these classes are about $100 US. (I think that's about 60 Pounds) Finally, the Moderator is a certified Apple technician / trainer. Maybe you could work a deal there.
