OK, Just mousing around ...

GOOD: You have thoughtfully put your telephone number in both national
and international format. This makes it a lot clearer for those who
are overseas.

1. You have an automated mailto link. This is likely to get you a lot
of spam. A friend's email address exposed on the web like this gets one
message every 6 minutes.

2. You have quite a number of link styles, and it is not obvious that
some of them are links. My PERSONAL preference is to make links
underlined (even when the mouse is nowhere near them). Now lets see
....
1. Image links (some probably OK, but do they have alt text?),
2. Image links which are just words - why not just use text links?
2a. Blue image links,
2b. Orange image links,
2c. Blue image links that have a mouseover that underlines them
3. Orange text links with no underline [mouseover makes them
underlined]
4. Blue text link, underlined
5. Grey text link, not underlined [mouseover underline]
3. Fixed left margin, wasted space if your screen is smaller
4. INCONSISTENT: The orange image-based headings are links in the
default (index.htm) page, but are not links in the contact page. They
look the same, this will be confusing to some.

I've put my (spammy) email address into the field and pressed ENTER. It
sends me to the contact page. If I have a concern about the
subscribing procedure, I'll let the group know separately.
Enuff for now.
