1st Hellingproof Board
Chairman: Bart Schoon
Secretary: Jora Steennis
Treasurer: Luuk Rutten
Commissar: Vera van der Woude
From the seven-member founding committee, a mixed group of two ladies and two gentlemen formed the first board of Hellingproof: ‘Work in progress’ A board with the challenging task of putting the young association on the map! Compared to now, it is almost impossible to imagine that we were still a handful of people who cycled under the name ‘Hellingproof’, had no club clothing, no student cup was impossible, had to borrow old team clothing from our trainer Casper to be sure of the GNSK, the ladies were heavily in the minority, ‘Heel Hellingproof Bakt’ (the great Hellingproof bake off) did not yet exist and Hellingproof life consisted only of cycling. What is still clearly part of Hellingproof was already: coziness.
