We apologize to all players who were concerned at the lack of the website during this time, but all efforts were being focussed on restoring service as quickly as possible. The server is now restored and there should be no further breaks in service during this downtime submission period. We have extended the official early booking and downtime deadlines to the 30^th June to ensure that you don't lose out due to this interruption.http://www.profounddecisions.co.uk/resources/news.aspFri, 19 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0000A number of Maelstrom players are involved with Maternity Worldwide, an important charity that helps to provide women in the developing world with access to vital professional health care during pregnancy. Having recently witnessed first hand how important this care can be, I am grateful for the opportunity to support the charity this year.
