Farewell To Phil And Pat Harris

After 16 years of living in Aberdeen, Phil and Pat Harris are leaving. They have both been a very supportive and integral part of the Aberdeen community where they have been avid bowls players. Phil has served as President of Aberdeen Bowls Club and Pat has skillfully supplied the catering on numerous occasions, and has been a great ‘skip’. Where Phil has served as treasurer to the Aberdeen Club, and Golf Captain to the Aberdeen Golf Club, Pat has been Chairperson of the Aberdeen Garden Club for 7 years. They have also both been members of the Aberdeen Publicity Association.
On 25 November Phil and Pat are relocating to live near their family at Fish Eagles Lodge near Addo, where they are presently building a house. This is in the area of ‘Jock of the Bushveld’ which is on the banks of the Sundays River. The house is surrounded by tall trees, where Fish Eagles and a multitude of bird life can be seen.
From their new home they will be able to view this river which abounds with fish and otters, and they will have bush hyax, spring hares and klipspringer in their garden.
Phil will be kept busy establishing this garden and playing golf, while together, they will continue their bowls at a nearby club.
Very much part of the community, they will be missed by their many friends.
