Our new Membership and eCommerce features are now available. The WAGS Website will be undergoing further changes into the future.

We are working on upgrading the underlying Content Management System (CMS). This will make the site more secure, and allow us to provide more options. We are also updating the site template which will change the look and feel of the site.

Please bear with us whilst these changes are undertaken over the next couple of months.

Library Reorganised

What's new in the WAGS Library

During the Christmas/New Year break, the library materials in Unit 5 were‘weeded'. Librarians do this from time to time when the shelves in their libraries start groaning from the weight of acquired material and what's removed are items that generally fit into the following categories:

duplicates
items containing information which is more readily available in another work or format
items that contain out-of-date information
damaged items
single issues of ‘long run' serials that are readily available elsewhere
