Let's keep to the original, "How do I get started with The GIMP"
approach and in your comfort-zone, Giles, for your choice of
demonstrations.  With many new GIMP users after your talk, perhaps one
or more will volunteer to take a go at a "Creating / Painting with The
GIMP" talk for later.  

Like any worthwhile topic, you cannot cover everything.  Pick one
message to deliver, one story to tell, and build your demonstrations
around that.  

Kevin, if you are comfortable creating images with other software
(Inkscape perhaps?) maybe you can do a talk on that?  

Best regards,
Richard.
