22/04/2008 UKOTCF Domain Name
Apologies to anyone recently trying to access this site and being re-directed to to a web-hosting and domain name registration company in the USA! This was due to an administrative error on the part of our ISP and, once the UKOTCF.org domain has re-propagated round the web - which may take up to 48hrs - should not occur again.
08/02/2008 UKOTCF web site
We regret that this web-site has bee down intermittently from 30th January onwards due to problems at our internet service provider (Tinite, now part of Nildram, itself now part of Pipex/Tiscali...)

We note also that occasionally attempts to link to this website are misdirected to an unrelated site linked to Aberdeen. Our internet service provider has been unable so far to correct this. We are encouraging them to try to improve matters.
