The death has been announced of Paul Dawson, the 59-year-old Malta Table Tennis Association (MTTA) president who passed away after a short illness.

As befits the role of a top official of a sports association, Dawson, was very active in promoting further the sport he represented.

He was a respected person and during his tenure of office, which started in March last year, his administrative knowhow helped in no small measure to make the game more popular in our country.

The funeral Mass will be held at St Sebastian parish church, Qormi, at 4pm, today.
