75 YEARS!

After a lot of preparations, the moment had finally arrived. On October 1, 2022, BC Drop Shot celebrated its 75th anniversary. A wonderful afternoon and evening and the start of a fantastic anniversary year.

At 5:00 PM, guests were welcomed for a wonderful reception. Visitors came from both the club’s rich history and its current members. We were also very pleased with the extensive delegation from the federation: Badminton Netherlands and the representatives from the municipality of The Hague.

At 5:15 PM, we were able to raise a glass together to a healthy club. Robert Hoogland, chairman of BC Drop Shot, spoke about uniting and what that means today. After that, Jan Helmond, chairman of the federation, took over. Helmond had some kind words and surprised the club with a very special honorary medal. 

Around 6:00 PM, the match between BC Drop Shot 1 and VELO 1 was scheduled. It was a great match, and the reception brought in a large audience. The Van de Kolk Arena was filled with all those spectators. This atmosphere leaves us wanting more.

The evening ended festively with the band ‘Pearly Gates’, whose lead singer is Drop Shot member Sandra Kroon.

Thanks to all the positive feedback, we look back on a fantastic afternoon and evening. It was the perfect Kick-Off for many more wonderful things to come in this anniversary year.
