5th Hellingproof Board
Chairman: Alger Jorritsma
Secretary: Rutger Visser
Treasurer: Gijs Spaans
Commissar Public Relations: Sigrid van der Schaar
Commissar Competition: Bas Overdevest
Commisar Internal Affairs: Tjalle de Jong
Let’s start with Sigrid. As the only woman on the board, she has managed to keep her ‘harem’ in line. Her Frisian sobriety and experience brought a sharp, nuanced view. She was always ready to organize everything. Gijs; master of the coin and generosity himself. This man has golden hands, which is why he can do two studies. He can do everything, and what he can’t do, he will still be able to do. Bas, our Amsterdammer, was a real organizer. One blink and he had arranged a training week in Spain and a track cycling clinic. Tjalle. That beautiful newsletter, dear reader, that was in your mailbox at irregular intervals during our board year, was written by him. Rutger is a special case. Of course, he made sure that everyone knew what he/she had to do after the meeting. Approximately, because Rutger does everything short and powerful. This also meant that he could answer all the emails very efficiently. That was quite a lot, not least mountains of fan mail for our secretary. Fanmail, which he occasionally daydreamed about during the meeting. I myself, Alger, was actually only on this board because I still had to finish a sign for the sports pub in the Bongerd (go and have a look, dear reader, it’s hanging there now). Furthermore, I mainly bought the stroopwafels for all the cobos. Still, I really enjoyed working with the aforementioned group of people to make something beautiful of the association for a year. It was the perfect combination of fun and work.
