The headings are not on the home page.  Try a link such as information or 
members.

Barry,

I am using Jaws version 6.10.982.

This is most strange as, not only am I not getting any headings using Jaws,
I am not seeing any h1, h2 or h3 tags in the source code.  I don't see how
it would be possible to have headings if the relevant tags are not there?
It's a bit of a mystery to me at least but I'm sure that there are some
better qualified web designers out there who probably know the answer.

Cheers,

Jamie
