Hi Dermot
Welcome!
I am in bracknell, and although I am not skilled at edubuntu use in 
particular, I am a regular user of ubuntu and edubuntu (workstations), 
and I would be happy to assist in some of my free time.

May I suggest that you consider also to joint the UK ubuntu users list?
ubuntu-uk at lists.ubuntu.com
