There were a number of notifications warning that the office would be closed. I agree that it would be better if there was a notice on the bookshop page warning about the closure and the announcement on the front page should have been made to stick at the top of the page and an automated email warning of the closure should have been added.
It's clear someone has heard of your problems and tried to rectify it because the closure message re-appeared on the front page for a couple of days. Sadly, as each new item is added older ones fall off the list.
This is clearly a limitation of the design of the web site. Not attacking the OP but I see the comment of "it's easy to make a change to the website . . . . " on various blogs. I doubt very much that the office staff or indeed anyone at the WIA could have changed that on their own. Whoever designed or put the page together can probably do that - clearly they did not.
Now, the WIA is looking for volunteers to help with amongst other things the revamping of the website. If there is someone out there with the skills to do this work I am sure the WIA would be happy to hear from them.
Most importantly the OP has found a way forward and I wish him well for next week.
