HUMBLE EXIT
Mr Robin Brown, the industrious chairman of the Canterbury Lawn Tennis Association’s management committee, has cause to remember his last duty at Wilding Park. While attending the national championships on the eve of his departure for Auckland, to take up a teaching appointment at Avondale College, Mr Brown was pressed into service to help lay the covers on the centre court at the end of play. “What a way to finish up,” Mr Brown lamented. He plans to watch the Benson and Hedges tournament and the Davis Cup tie in Auckland, and
then “vanish into the limbo.” But fellow' officials think that it is only a matter of time before Mr Brown once again bobs up in tennis administration. The president of the Canterbury association (Mr Horace Dillon) will be the acting chairman until the end of the season, at least. Mr Dillon is a former president of the New Zealand association, and is one of three members on the national junior advisory committee. He is well knowm for his work in junior tennis and as chairman of the C.L.TA. ground committee.
