hi all - what is this brown material called please

In true DIY fashion you could make the genuine stuff yourself, by soaking or painting cardboard with epoxy or gorilla glue or similar. I think that would be FR1, minus the fire retardancy of course. If you want to get fancy, use layers from an old cotton T-shirt + resin: voila, home-made FR2! For extra nice surface finish, wait until the missus is running an errand, and give it a quick press with the clothing iron!

If you can't find FR4 (or FR5), then G-10 will also do, and will be a bit sturdier than the paper or cotton based products. It comes in a lot of thicknesses, even in blocks. Machining is a bit iffy because of the embedded glass fibers, so eye protection and a mask for breathing is probably a good idea.
