Accessibility Guidelines
Weybridge Rifle and Pistol Club is committed to website accessibility and this website has been built in line with accessibility best practice, and to meet the most stringent global accessibility standards, including W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (version 2.0) Level 1,2 and 3 website accessibility guidelines as well as many other international codes.
There is one exceptional page, our club calendar which is not compliant with XHTML 1.0 Strict or WCAG due to issues with code imported from the third party supplier. We will upgrade the code on this page as standards compliant scripts are made available to us.
