Tennis invitation
The Canterbury Junior (Lawn Tennis Association has invited a group of young (Californian tennis players to make a cultural visit to Christchurch in September. ( Mr M. Agar, the associ[ation’s chairman, said that the 10 or so children — probably six boys and four I girls — would be billeted (and live as normal a New Zealand life as possible for I about a fortnight, or three (weeks.
I The children, aged between 10 and 15, would go jto school, if permitted, with the families they stayed with, and this might later |lead to exchange visits. The arrangement comes after the visit to Christj church of Mr John Brittan, a ! board director of the newly-
(formed U.S. Youth Sports. ■ This group was set up to (deal with such cultural visits for children from southern California. He has arranged visits for tennis and soccer players to Scotland and Holland, with the support of the American Youth Soccer Organisation.
