Sad news with Merv Allardyce passing away on Saturday (July 11) age 88.  As a Life Member of the Empire Table Tennis Club he was also well known within the Wellington and indeed the New Zealand table tennis community including as a dedicated administrator for TTNZ in the head office for 11 years.  He will be missed by so many, sympathies from us all to Merv’s family.

See John Kiley’s article on Merv in Saturday’s Dominion Post.
