I am Martin Webb Computer Consultant, and have been helping Geoff Wolfe, your Webmaster, to achieve a transition from the old to a new website. The goal I have been working towards is to make the website easily updatable whilst also being expandandable via members participation.

This has led to some constraints which I feel in 2010 are appropriate, the most important is the file formats which are acceptable.

Text should be written in Microsoft Office 97 - 2003 .DOC Word Format (Word 2007 and later need to be saved in this format rather than the default .DOCX format).

Pictures in .JPG/JPEG Format (a good size is around 1.25Mb), it would be helpful if these could be stored in a Web based Free Folder Storage, such as Flickr, PicniK, Picaso and Windows Live.

Videos in .AVI Format, it would be helpful if these could be stored in a Web based Free Folder Storage, such as 4Shared

The reason for specifying these constraints is that Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OSX can all read these with the software each has available, either included or as an additional program. Last but not least you may receive a warning about running ActiveX Controls on the Membership, Magazine and Competitions Pages, if you allow you will be able to view the documents which are hosted by ScribD, alternatively clicking on the Document Title (small text in last line of page) will take you direct to the ScribD Hosting Page to read the documents.
