Our most recent event was in October 2011; Damien Grant spoke on "Building against earthquakes; lessons from Christchurch". Following his address, Belinda Brown, Deputy High Commissioner, gave us a brief update on the situation in Christchurch and the impact to the New Zealand economy. Read a report of the event by NZUGA member Tom Aitken. |

| We gave a grant to Gerri Kimber in 2011 to assist with her costs of a research trip to New Zealand. Gerri is working on a 2 volume annotated edition of the fiction works of Katherine Mansfield, to be published in 2013. She sent us this letter of thanks, and also an account of her work in New Zealand in August 2011. | ||
| In early 2011 we collected around £1400 from our members to remit to Canterbury University towards their earthquake scholarship fund. We have received this letter of thanks from them. | ||
