UPDATE: NOW RESOLVED - USE AS NORMAL

UPDATE:  CIVL have confirmed that they have had a problem with their hosting providers and are working to fix it.  Please don't use the BOS or Nationals registration systems until further notice.

Olly and I have become aware of a CIVL Events System problem affecting a number of sites.  Disappearing registrations and the updates I did yesterday no longer there for example.  

It is not only British comps which are affected - The French Open has disappeared altogether.
