We are so proud to see Farry McLeod become a Wairarapa Bush Rugby Patron. Farry was our founding Chairman in 1976 when he was also Ken Aburns first coach - JAB 9th grade in 1976 along with the Kahutara Principal. We wouldnt be the club we are today without Farry!
He was instrumental in our early years to get TRFC up and running including getting showers and changing rooms built. He has long been a Tuhirangi life member so its awesome to see him recognised at the next level too.
We also proudly keep an eye on Farrys grandson, Grizz Wyles, and his rugby career.
Welcoming Our New Patron - Farry McLeod
We are incredibly proud to announce Farry McLeod as our new Patron.
For many decades, Farry has been one of the driving forces behind rugby in the Wairarapa. From pulling on the boots as a player, serving on committees, managing administration, volunteering his time, and supporting generations of rugby people, his contribution has been immense.
Farry was WBRU President in 2005 & 2006 and is uniquely recognised across the region as the only community member to hold Life Memberships with Tuhirangi Rugby Football Club, Greytown Rugby Football Club, and the Wairarapa Bush Rugby Union.
Such is the respect for his service that the annual Wairarapa Bush Rugby Union Volunteer of the Year Award carries his name, recognising the values and commitment he has demonstrated throughout his lifetime in rugby.
Thank you, Farry, for everything you have given to our game and our community. We are honoured to have you as our Patron
Please join us in congratulating Farry and his wife Annie on this well-deserved appointment.
