RSS Feed

What is an RSS feed?

An RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed is way of checking headlines for news articles without having to visist the site directly. This allows you to save valuable time and still catch up on what's happening. You can also use this feed to pull information into your own site.

We will use this to add News items and any added documents you may need.

How to start using feeds?

If you have Internet Explorer 7 or Mozilla Firefox you can view our RSS feed within your web browser. Alternatively, you can use a stand-alone news reader. A news reader is a piece of software that checks the feed and lets you view any new content that has been added.

You need to subscribe to our RSS feed to start viewing it.
