 Canterbury Area Director Graeme Spinks stands in a crack in front of his house! We understand that many of our fellow JNZ members are experiencing difficulty and worry after the recent (and ongoing) earthquakes in the region. I am sure all members are thinking of all those affected by these events, and hope that things return to normal as quickly as possible.
