Last month (March 09) saw record numbers of people visiting and using the web site and this resulted in the bandwidth being exceeded and the site suspended for a brief period - some of you may have seen the error message last night.

We, of course, contacted our service provider immediately the problem occurred only to find that there was no one on the support desk after 5pm local time - the problem was corrected by the system software at midnight as our new monthly bandwidth allocation took effect.

So apologies to those of you inconvenienced by the outage and we will take steps to ensure that this problem does not happen again.
