Welcome

The Staff, Trust members and all the volunteers would like to wish you all a very merry Xmas Season and hope that you have a wonderful New Year.  It has been a very trying year for us but one in which we have survived 2 earthquakes and 2 snows storms.  We look forward to a more normal 2012.

We recommend care is taken in the local neighbourhood due to earthquake damage.  This is out of respect for all the local residents. Best wishes, stay safe and we are looking forward to seeing you.

Steve and the Team.
