On behalf of NZ Section, & Christchurch menbers in particular, I thank you all for your thoughts and support. I am living "safely" in the Middle East, but my wife & daughter drove out of Christchurch city about an hour before the quake. Son in law had difficulty keeping the car on the black top, they were a bit "shaken up" but returned safely to Blenheim 4hours drive away.
I have been in contact with Rob Angelo.I am sure he wont object to me telling you that & he & Therese are OK, some damage to their house in Lyttleton, but still tenable. Bike conditions unknown, but these are relative minor details in peoples lives right now.
Other members; I dont know.
Roy Gardner.
