Hi Vince, if you phone Leamington guide dogs trading school and say you are
interested in speaking at schools etc and you then go on a speaker course
either at Leamington or nearer to where you live, i did one of these courses
and it's good fun, you get to meet other guide dog owners, puppy walkers etc,
you hope that helps, Sarahx
