Trying:

http://wave.webaim.org/report#/nottingham.lug.org.uk

lists various unsurprising complaints about the structure for the first
page of our site. No complaints about contrast?

(That's a good tool thanks.)

We're using "Modern Tribe" for the calendar, being as they were one of
the first to put together a good calender app from long ago.


Easy tweak/debug suggestions are very welcome. For the moment, a
revamp/overhaul is something for a rainy week. Or... In true FLOSS
style, any help with a Robin Hood mythically themed group site would be
welcomed ;-)


Cheers,
Martin
