[WiL Updates]

25th September 2009 (part 2 of 2)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Due to circumstance beyond our control .
* Many apologies for the delay in this 2nd part of this week's eupdate but there
has been a loss of service on our web host
* Also apologies if you go to Women in London and get an error message - it just
means they still haven't figured out the problem - as usual service was much
better before big commercial company took over small personalised service -
sigh!!
