    First thing is to find out if the idea is patentable, without letting someone steal your idea.

    For this reason you'll need to approach someone "in the know" and get them to sign a NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) before you reveal your idea.

    Down this way we have the "Wessex Round Table of Inventors": http://www.wrti.org.uk/ perhaps you have a similar organisation near you that could assist?

    Also, Trevor Bayliss (Clockwork radio) has set up a company to assist inventors with their ideas. You have to pay him but he'll look into the viability of your invention. He has a website here: http://www.trevorbaylisbrands.com

    I must state at this point that I have never used the services of his company! However, As Mr Bayliss is a household name I suspect he'd have too much to lose by not being above board?
