I found an unopened bag of Aquatic compost (Arthur Bowers?) in the shed - bought last May. Will it still be ok and if so is there an alternative use I can use if for? I doubt my pond plants will need repotting for a while!

Thanks SGB - I'll just mix it through other compost and use it on the borders. I saw a feature on TV about not using compost in the pond a few days after buying this so I didn't use it.
I had hoped that due to it's supposed lack of nutrients I might have been able to use it (with something added) for my ever growing sempervivum collection.

If it has stayed dry it will be fine for next year. or mix it with normal compost and use as normal. I don't use aquatic compost in the pond. I usually plant them in gravel and then they get their nutrients from the water due to the fish poo etc . saves muddying the water .
