Hey crew,
Just letting everyone know the reason why the WWA site is down right now is because somebody hacked the website and dropped in a bot that sent out about 7000 spam emails to god knows who before the server shut us down.
Right now we are doing the best we can to get us back online ASAP, but with our webmasters being voulenteers who have real non IT jobs it might take longer than we expect.
Please show us your support for these guys who have spent many hours to have their hard work ruined by some twat.

In the meantime we will be unable to communicate to all our members via our bulk mailing system, and are still hoping we will be able to extract our mailing lists from the site.

Fortunately we still have records of everyone who has paid their memberships for the season.

For those who will need to pay up membership before the greenhead wave comp or for wednesday night slalom racing we will try and get links up and available to paypal as soon as we can.

In the meantime we will be posting bulletins about the Greenhead wave comp and wednesday nigh slalom results on seabreeze.
Please check back regularly and please inform your mates.

If you have any other problems or questions please dont hesitate to call either myself (Alex) on 0413 969 679 or Gary on 0407 381 757, or PM me.

Thanks Alex
