TECHNICAL
NOTE:
This page like
others in the website was originally designed for I.E.4+ and display settings of around 1024x768. Other browsers such as Firefox,
Chrome and Opera, and other monitor settings, for example those used for widescreen displays, may cause occasional distortion in the layout of
earlier pages, font changes and other aberrations. In every case, however, the page in question should remain legible and fully functioning.
More recent pages should display without error. No doubt
strange results will from time to time emerge when some
pages are viewed via more recent devices such as tablets
and smartphones. Visitors to the website are asked to make
allowances for the non-professional efforts of the
Webmaster who does his limited best to cater for all
possibilities! And if you wish to view any page in its original, intended form, please
do so via a conventional pc or laptop.
