Accessibility

Access Keys:

"Access keys" have been included to assist users with disabilities when navigating their way through the web site. Essentially keyboard shortcuts, access keys provide quick and easy access to the main pages without the need for a mouse. At present, only Microsoft Internet Explorer supports access keys and using them depends upon what type of operating system you use.

Windows based computers - Pressing "ALT" and the access key will give focus to that specific link on the page. If you press return, you will then be taken to that page.

Macintosh based computers - Pressing "CTRL" and the access key will automatically send you to that specific page.

The access keys used on this site are:

1 = Introduction
2 = Aims and Objectives
3 = Latest News
4 = Our Members
5 = Projects and Plans
6 = Meetings & Minutes
7 = Contact Us
8 = Links
9 = Glossary

Screen Resolution:

Our website is best viewed using Internet Explorer 5 and above or Netscape 4.0. or above in screen resolutions of 800x600 and above.

File Sizes:

In order to keep download time to a minimum, pages on this site have been designed so that they are all under 50kb. We also endeavour to keep the size of 'downloadable' documents, such as Adobe Acrobat files, to no more than 200kb. In cases where this is not possible, a file size warning has been given.

Increasing Text Size:

Some users might find screen text easier to read by increasing the size at which text is displayed. To do this you should simply adjust your browser's settings.

  • If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to the View menu, select Text Size and then either Larger or Largest.
  • If you use Netscape Navigator, go to the View menu and choose Increase Font until the text is the size you require.

Changing Colours:

Changing the site's background colour can be particularly useful for users who rely on magnification technology as white can produce an uncomfortable glare. It is also possible to change the colour of body text on the site. Both can be achieved by changing preferences in your browser:

If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to the Tools menu, select Internet Options, select Colors and make changes to text and background colours in the Colors panel.

If you use Netscape Navigator, go to the Edit menu, select Preferences, open the Appearance menu and select Colors. You can set the colour of text and background from here.

Downloadable Utilities:

Adobe Acrobat Reader for PDF (Portable Document Format) files:
