Roy - I have a workshop worked out with materials and handouts and I'm 
happy for other people to use it. It's aimed at non-technical people who 
want to use Ubuntu in voluntary sector and social enterprises and it 
covers some of the social responsibility reasons for using FOSS, 
installing Ubuntu, tour of the desktop, some GUI system administration 
basics and an overview of the migration process. It uses non-technical 
language and people say it's actually fun - it would also work pretty 
much as-is for the whole range of small businesses ;)

If it could be useful to Ubuntu-UK people who want to do something 
similar in their areas, I could turn it into a re-usable 'package' 
available on our website that people can download, adapt and use to put 
on local events for non-techies?

You just need a projector and screen (or you could use a decent-sized 
LCD flatscreen) - people can bring stuff to install (we provide laptops 
but I don't think that's vital and people also bring their own stuff). 
They follow step-by-step on the screen and do the actions themselves on 
their own laptops/PCs.
