Well… it is now over a year since we were hit by a 7.1 magnitude earthquake here in the Canterbury region of New Zealand, followed by a devastating and far more dangerous 6.3 in February this year which resulted in 182 deaths in the city of Christchurch.
Because of this, we still have no resolution on the insurance claim to repair Reynox House, which was to house the writers centre.
Sadly, the Writers’ Centre will remain closed until this issue can be resolved. Word from the Loss Adjusters is that even if we get the go-ahead to start fixing the buiding tomorrow, it could be over a year before they even start the repairs.
Oh well…
