Here's a great example of what can be done with a couple of Go-Pros if you know what you're doing

I just get a blank page

Same here using Opera or FireFox but it works using Chrome.

Yup, works in Chrome, good video.

http 500 error in explorer, works in other browsers, odd.

The site itself that is, it doesn't seem to be a video problem.

Just to echo the above, the site works in Chrome but in IE (11) comes up with a "500 Internal Server Error".

On a mobile (Android) the site shows up ok, visiting the video page shows no video, there are, however, two links; mobile version (selected) and standard version. Clicking standard version brings up the page again, this time complete with video, which works fine...

Haven't got Chrome, can't get it working in IE or Firefox... 

Is the video hosted on Youtube/Vimeo etc - if so, would someone be kind enough to post a direct link?

That still doesn't work (except in Chrome).

Mobile browsers generally are not good at showing/playing YouTube videos. The way to see the video is to use the YouTube app. Here's the URL - http://youtu.be/aigoVsWtcso

It's not a mobile problem, the site doesn't work in IE or apparently Firefox.

Has anyone told them?

I've just tried again on a PC (not a mobile device), and IE or Firefox (v26) doesn't work. A blank page is displayed and looking at the page source shows that no data has been returned to the browser. Oddly, it does work in Chrome, which I've just tried on my mates computer. (IE and Firefox doesn't work on his either).

My first thought was that the server must be rejecting connections from particular clients (i.e. browsers). However, I know think it's a bug in the CMS, because 1) the server redirects to the cms (so can't be rejecting particular clients), and 2) I found the following link in google which doesn't use the CMS, and it works: http://smwcrt.org/WBCRT/address_list.html.

Back in Chrome, the page source shows its Joomla 1.5, and another quick google does come up with other people encountering the same problem (on other sites with Joomla 1.5 and Firefox/IE etc).

Has anyone told them?

Luckily the working page has a list of contacts, so have emailed the secretary to let them know of the issue.
