Christchurch was hit by another earthquake on the 22nd of February 2011. Devastating and heartbreaking. The loss of life makes it so much worse.
To support our artists in the Christchurch area, we offer a 15% discount on all of Greg's bowls till 31 December 2011, so he can keep his cash flow going.Greg normally sells at the Christchurch Arts Centre and also at the market, but he won't be able to do this for quite a while.
Thank you for your support.
