Congratulations Ian, It really is a worthwhile thing to do. Some of the questions that get thrown at you can be challenging at times, but if you have the knack for it you can really get the point across to the young 'uns.
I used to do it about 20 years ago at a couple of local schools and it is a real buzz. Also a friend of mine back then was doing a science presentation and she chose astronomy. She conducted a introductory presentation in the hall in the evening, then escorted the class out onto the oval where I was set up with the scope, and we did a live presentation for the second half. She received top marks!
