    Amazon.co.uk good for stuff like that also- I can see clocks there for about 15 pounds.

    Allow for getting charged for customs from China - don’t request express postage as DHL customs charges are more expensive than normal post.

    Order them 2 sets at a time and you won't be charged import duties.

    Thanks guys.
    Don't know re sets: are 6 schools, need to see what level of interest there is and how they will be funded.
    Am looking at a mix of say a fiver from each student, sponsorship and some from the school

    Some woodworking classes, either in your target schools or other schools, might be willing to make them for free/cover expenses.

    Thanks for all the feedback and the PMs

    Making good progress.

    Is there any software out there that will allow me make up examples of games that teach specific points?
