Tony Haigh died peacefully at home on Saturday February 27, aged 70.
Tony joined Glaneirw House Community in Blaenporth in the mid-1970s as a young man. He was deeply committed to community life where he made many friends and he contributed with passion to the goals of self-sufficiency. He committed to integration with the Welsh language, becoming fluent and campaigning with the the Welsh Language Society.
Tony’s legacy at Glaneirw (now privately owned) includes a plantation of hundreds of trees. He was a self trained plumber and converted and installed Rayburn cookers for many years.
Tony, a mathematician by training, was a highly accomplished chess player. As a member of the Cardigan Chess Club he shared in many of their triumphs, including in 2013 travelling to Greece with the team to take part in the European Chess Club cup competition.
