Cougette has outgrown it's pot!!

I have a courgette query and hope you may be able to help! My courgette plant has been in a 12" pot and has been looking beautiful for weeks and weeks producing some fantastic fruit however this morning I noticed that some of the white roots are poking up through the compost!! :-( obviously my choice of pot is too small but I do not know whether it is advisable to repot whilst fruiting as I'm a first time veggie grower :-) I assume that the plant will start to fail anyway if I don't sort out the space issue. Any and all advice fully appreciated! Guess I've learned that courgettes need more space for next years veggie growing.

    I read in a mag a while ago, that you can move them now, they had done so, athough that was moving from a greenhouse to a border, yours should be better from a pot.
    I think it may die down a bit, then come back.

    It's a risk, but should be worth doing.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
