Ron Menchi

We were sad to hear the news that Ron Menchi passed away on 11th April.  He had been ill for some time.  It is hard to put into words the contribution Ron has made to table tennis at a Club, Regional and National Level.  He joined Empire in the late 1940s and was elected a Life Member in 1959.  He was also a Vice President of Table Tennis Wellington, and a Life Member and Hall Of Fame Member of Table Tennis New Zealand.  For more details of Ron's remarkable contribution, see our life members page, the table tennis wellington blog and the table tennis new zealand website

We extend our sincere condolences to Ron's family and friends.​
