Witney.net gets a makeover!
If you are a regular visitor to the Witney website you will notice that we are looking different.
We are in the process of updating the whole website in the biggest site re-design since we launched all those years ago. With so many pages on witney.net it's going to take a while to get everything converted to the new design so please excuse the combination of old design and new design while we get everything spruced up.
There are now two menu bars at the top of each web page. The top menu bar is the main menu which contains all of the most popular sections. The second menu bar (under the main menu) is a menu which changes each time you select a main section from the main menu to show further related pages. We hope this makes it easier to find what you are looking for.
