Before you decide to stop reading, this is NOT about taking the blame, but taking responsibility!

The Wairarapa U3A [University of the Third Age] is hosting GNS Earthquake geologist Dr Robert Langridge this month, to talk to us about our faults. The GNS’s “It’s Our Fault”  project now includes the Wairarapa. It’s designed to inform people in their home area about specific faults, earthquakes and their impacts. U3A hopes this will be of much interest to you!

The Date: Wednesday JULY 24th from 1.00 to 2.30p.m.
The Place: Frank Cody Lounge, Masterton Town Hall

Dr Langridge will talk for about 40 minutes and his presentation will be followed by a Question and Answer session.
“It’s Our Fault” promises to be a fascinating insight into ‘what’s underground’ and its relevance to all of us. Entry is free!

The date for your Calendar: JULY 24th. Do it now!
