John Phillips

(Strathendrick Curling Club)

I live in the village of Killearn, Stirlingshire with my wife Helen.  Killearn is a small country village about 20 miles west of Glasgow. We have two grown-up children and three grandchildren. 

I am President of Strathendrick Curling Club, which has recently celebrated its 150^th anniversary.  We have eighty members and curl between Stirling and Forest Hills ice rinks.  I followed my father’s tradition and now all my family are keen curlers, including my eldest grand-daughter.  I played against the Canadian touring side on their last two visits and established lasting friendships. 

I retired from farming four years ago and started a landscape gardening business.  I am a keen gardener and enjoy the odd game of golf.
