My thoughts exactly :-)

A very good idea.
but I doubt most members would have the time or inclination.

I was thinking of suggesting asking local businesses to do
presentations. Most of them have to present to clients - a politician is
not that different.

Two examples would be my employer (software dev house) and an network
consultancy/ISP I know.

I would hope JimK of osml would be "up for it".
