We have recently suffered from extended disruptions to the BSS website. It was not available between 12th. and 20th. January and, although it went live again on the 21st., this was an out-of-date version that did not include a number of recent posts. In addition, access to the admin side of the site was not restored until the 29th. All these issues – the interruption, the delay and the loss of recent posts – were caused by our hosting service. This is a most unsatisfactory state of affairs for which I apologise.

My immediate priority is to recreate the December updates and to post a number of other new items that have been held up. I will also be evaluating ways in which we can avoid these interruptions in future.

Apologies again for the extended interruption and please watch this space for updates – thank you.
