Our Bloke – Marty Tighe

Marty Tighe

Where were you born? Hay.

Were you named after anyone? Not that I know of…

Which of your accomplishments are you most proud of? Mmmm… besides my great tomatoes, spinach and beetroot crop last season, my wife and I are very proud of our children and their own accomplishments!

What historical moment stands out most in your memory? Not so much a ‘moment’, but visiting the Australian war cemeteries in Europe and attending the daily ‘Last Post’ service in Ypres, Belgium are life lasting memories.

What’s the single best piece of advice you’ve ever received? ‘He who hesitates, is lost!’

What’s the greatest risk you’ve ever taken? Jumping out of a plane, hoping to keep calm enough to pull the chute ripcord in time, which I did, just in time!!

What are the three things you would take to a deserted island? Water, a couple of books and my glasses!

If you had to spend $10,000 today, how would you spend it? Fill up both cars with petrol, pay the chemist bill, get some bowls coaching and share what is left over amongst our family.

When are you happiest? Spending time with our granddaughter!
