The Vale of Lune Harriers and The Three Counties Bloodhounds

Saturday 30th January 2010

Just to reassure members that our webmaster has been as confused about the arrangements for this weekend as the rest of you but has now spoken to the Masters to clear things up. So here goes…

Away Fixture: Visit to The Blankey

The joint meet with The Blankney is on this weekend. Members who are making the trip should have already sorted out their accomodation.

Looking Ahead…

Downloading the Schedule

For maximum accessibility the schedules are available in PDF format. To read them you may need to download and install Adobe Reader. This is free software available here.

As we are sure our regular readers and followers will appreciate, the current cold spell and conditions mean that there really is no way we can post a long-term timetable. The Masters would like to reassure you all that an improvement in the weather will bring a full timetable of meets running up to the end of the season to make up for the cancellations due to the weather, including some extra Sunday ambles.

That’s Enough Now

Ironically the new Hunt card is with the printers but the weather has already rendered it out of date.

In the meantime another newsletter is in preparation and will be posted on the website next week.

Hopefully visitors to the site will have noticed that the website is currently undergoing some minor revisions.

The changes we are making should make it easier to navigate the page. We will be removing some of the direct links in the sidebar to the individual photo galleries. Don’t worry though, the photos will still be available in the photo gallery.

Some of the other changes make the website more accessible to viewers with disabilities by making the page structure more logical, and ensuring our continued compliance with World Wide Web standards. The VLH website is regularly checked to ensure it continues to meet the highest, Triple-A, standards for accessibility.

We are aware that the redesign is currently causing issues with legacy browsers such as Internet Explorer 6 and 7 that do not comply with W3C internet standards. If you use such a browser we are working on the problem, however for your own internet security it may be worth considering an upgrade to Internet Explorer 8. We do our best to test any changes to the site on a variety of browsers and operating systems.

If you are a registered with the website comments have been enabled and you can tell us what you think of the changes.

The recent visit of the Vale of Lune to the Blankney Foxhounds is featured in the March issue of The Masters Voice. Words by our very own Sarah Clegg and photos by Nick Wallis.

Back in January the Vale of Lune Harriers played host to journalists from Norwegian newspaper Dn.no, and you may have seen the photos by Jeff Gilbert. We have since received the six page article that made it into the weekend section of the paper.
