One thing you could do to reduce the size of the page is combine the events/achievements images into a single sprite. They shouldn't be changing too often, and it would reduce the number of HTTP requests your page makes by three, as well as reducing the header data from the multiple images.
Your newsletter icons could also be combined into a single sprite, cutting two further HTTP requests.
Edit: looking through your CSS there is a lot of excess you can cut out of there. For one you specify the same font-family multiple times across multiple elements. You should consider setting it once for the body and then perhaps a class for where you want the font to be different. You can also use shorthand styles. Instead of
Code:
margin-right:auto;margin-left:auto
you can write
Also I noticed that you used 'pt' for setting font-size in the footer, which is generally a bad idea as it is an absolute measurement.
For header you have both min-width and width specified in pixels.
In your actual source, you have the doctype specified as XHTML strict, but it currently does not validate.

Style-wise it looks good. It's clean, and the navigation is clearly visible. It looks virtually the same in IE 6 too, which is a nice touch.
