Titahi Bay Tennis Club

07/06/2026

Titahi Bay Tennis pays tribute to former President, Brian Haley who passed last Sunday.

Brian (with his wife Diane) joined the Club in 1978 and not before long found himself on the Commitee, and later serving as President from 1981 to 1984.

Brian was instrumental in the development of the tennis courts at Jillet St Park and the installation of the court lights at the Club early 1980’s.

Later joined by son Matthew and daughter Annemarie who participated in our Junior programme, it became a true family affair at the Club.

Brian was the epitome of a true club man through his support of all the club offered and its members.

The Club extends their condolences to Diane, Matthew, Annemarie and their extended whānau.

A service for Brian will be held on Tuesday 9 June, 2pm at Whenua Tapu Cemetery.

Kia ora whānau

Sadly, we have lost a good friend and club member; and regretfully share the news of the passing of Ron Farrell at his home in Titahi Bay.

More familiar as our leader of the ‘Koro’ hitting group, we would often see Ron hitting most weekday mornings showing that his love of the game never waned over the many years he was a member of our club.

A special friend to some of our former juniors through the decades, Ron’s love and support spoke volumes in comparison to his quiet nature.

A proud māori man from Ngāti Porou, Ron was also an incredible sportsperson, representing the Kiwis in 1966 and Wellington rugby league over many years.

To Ron’s children, Mireille, Karen, Ricky and Dean, and your extended whānau, our most heartfelt condolences go out to you all.

Ron, we will miss you dearly.
Moe mai ra e rangatira, moe mai ra.
