I was sure I saw something on this site or the AAW home page on tips for demonstrators. Our club is wanting to put together a handout on tips for a good demonstration so we can hand them out to members who have volunteered to do a demo. This is primarily for those who haven't done a demo before but could be good for anyone as a refresher.

John, Rob provides good help in his links but in a not too distant AAW journal there is also an excellent article guiding those who host out of town demonstraters that you might want to use as well.
 
Rob That's exactly what I was looking for. I think between the two I can put together something that would be a good preparatory document for our local club demonstrators. Won't hurt me to read over it occasionally either.
 
Starting to do some demos myself, I printed both of these sheets out for my own use also. Nice to have a check list to back up my failing memory as I get more and more gray hair!! :D AAW did a good job on these sheets and they have already helped me personally!
