Sunday, 6 December 2009

Much of the work in prepping for our datacenter move has been done, and we are targeting tomorrow afternoon US/Eastern time (Saturday December 5th) to start migrating customer data to the new facility in Miami.

(For those who are curious, Saturday afternoon is our lowest-traffic time of the week)

This means that for a short period of time the site will be unavailable for maintenance, and accounts will come back on-line as soon as they are moved. We are working hard to make the transition as smooth as possible, and to minimize any downtime or disruptions.

Once this phase is complete, there will be one more maintenance window that will be required to complete the move, which will happen approximately 10 days from now. At that point, the move will be complete and we'll be up and running in our new facility, with faster hardware than ever.

I wish to let you all know that if you are having a problem with the site going slow at times it is because we have been informed that Multiply are moving there Datacenter to Florida at the moment and they believe that when it is set up things will be much improved and hopefully faster. ???

Doncaster Rugby Club Under 13s
Help For Heroes - Christmas Rugby Tournament

Before I go into details let me explain some background to the event. We have started to raise money for our end of season tour to help those lads who find it difficult to attend such trips due to costs. This is always a difficult but rewarding process as I am sure you will know from your own experience. However during our first fund raising meeting we decided unanimously that we should also set aside some specific events to raise money for other causes outside of our own little world. We quickly decided that we should nominate Help For Heroes as our charity for 2009/2010. There were a few reasons for this;

Firstly a Doncaster Rugby Club ex-junior section player, Ben Parkinson, was been badly injured whilst serving with 7th Parachute Regiment Royal Horse Artillery (follow these links to read more about Ben’s story and his unflinching bravery:
http://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/community/Paratrooper-Ben-went-to-Afghanistan.3246302.jp and http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1203202/Horrifically-injured-army-hero-Ben-Parkinson-confounds-doctors-learning-speak-again.html

Secondly our head coach served with The Blues and Royals for 22 years. The Blues and Royals are part of the Household Cavalry who are currently deployed in Afghanistan.

Thirdly we also have some connections with London Irish, through ex-players of both Doncaster and London Irish, whose nominated charity is also Help For Heroes and we hope to have some support from them for this event.

So what are we trying to do? Our intention with this tournament is to have some really good games of open running rugby but with the added and important aim of raising some serious money for Help For Heroes. We have registered the event with H4H and our reference number is 20091109-4453-4130.

The ways in which we aim to raise money are as follows:

Try Sponsorship – With the attached form we would like all players participating in the event to approach their friends, family, parents’ friends, parents’ work colleagues, etc to gain sponsorship for each try that your team scores in the event. Please be aware that the refereeing style will be to encourage try scoring by all teams! If you require help with printing the forms then please let me know and we can work together to make suitable arrangements.

Collections – We will have Help For Heroes collection buckets on the day and you and your supporters will be suitably hassled and harried to make cash donations as the event goes along.
