Excellent link Rex.
Gareth, I'm sure you'll have a great time with your scope.
This is a hobby that has a long and continuous learning curve. So don't worry if it takes a bit of time to get into it. Get yourself a copy of Sky and telescope or Sky and Space, they're an excellent resource to get you started. Your local library should have some Astronomy books on hand, if not they can order you in some.
See if you can get hold of Steve Massey's "The Night Sky" for an introduction to observing the planets and sun.
Maybe the others here could reccomend a good book for deep sky observing.
