The corona situation has slowly but surely been becoming better, so after a long wait, we´ve been allowed to restart our activities! During the month of June we’ve tried to organise as many social moments as possible and finally once again meet all of you. With first classes and practice nights we carefully looked for the room to once again reconnect and have fun together, in a safe way.
GMA and board 2021-2022:
Many of you already know that the last GMA was very important for our association. Due to Covid it was very hard to find new members and therefore a new board. Gladly, some old-time heroes were ready to save the day and lead the association (with some help from part-time power troops). The interim board will be:
| Chairman | Tineke Dijkstra |
| Secretary | Anastasia Solovyeva |
| Treasurer (shared) | Zander van der Steege Maarten Derickx |
Our focus this year will be on community and member recruitment. We hope to find new members to fulfill the board position a.s.a.p. Feel free to contact us if you have interest or any questions about any of the board functions.
Upcoming activities:
