Earthquake Notice - Student Volunteers 

If you want to help out tidying up the aftermath of the earthquake in Christchurch and the surrounding towns, there is a student volunteer group that is working with the NZ Army and Civil Defence. This is not an official NZCF activity and there is no uniform, but if you are interested you can find more details on this Facebook Page or you can contact U/O Blair Marett on 027 201 3723. It is updated with new information at 2015 hours.
