It is with regret that we must announce that the 2011 Australasian Cycling History Conference has been cancelled.
Conditions in Christchurch are difficult and locals have no time or ability to host our conference.
All of the people involved in organising the conference are OK, although their conditions vary from unscathed
to loss of business and damaged residencies.
We wish everyone well and hope that Christchurch can return to a semblance of normalcy
and host the ACHC in the future. |

Deadly 'quake hits Christchurch
Prime Minister John Key has told reporters that the death toll from today's magnitude 6.3 earthquake stands at 65, and Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker said it could quite possibly double.
Speaking from Christchurch after flying down this afternoon, Mr Key told One News it was likely the quake would prove to be New Zealand's "darkest day".
TVNZ reports up to 200 people remained trapped in damaged buildings.

New ACH website
The Australasian Cycling History website is to be revamped, just in time for the details of the Christchurch conference to be published.
The site is now on a new server, and you will see changes happening over the next couple of weeks.
The Christchurch conference will be held on April 15/16/17, and while a venue has not yet been decided on, the programme is coming together. |
