Friends of the Vechtrace 2018
- Written by: Annemiek
Marjolein Rekers, daughter of one of the founders of the Vechtrace made the design for the original Vechtrace Medal. On this medal Frans Göbel, twice world champion in the skiff and nicknamed the Emperor of the Amstel, is depicted. A limited number of this medal was produced. And now the stock is nearly depleted.
In 2017 the Vechtrace Committee has decided to award this medal only to persons who have distinguished themselves during the organisation of the Vechtrace and to rowers who have participated in the Vechtrace for many years.
In 2018 the medal was awarded to:
Geertje Klok from RC de Hunze. She participated 10 times in the period 2003 till the present.
Bram Bollaert from RC de Zwolsche. He participated 15 times in the period 1994 till the present.
René Maarleveld from RC Amycus. He participated 15 times in the periode 1996 till the present.
Jan Bas van Noord from RC Aengwirden. He participated 15 times in the period 2003 till the present
Piet Toering. For many years Piet has been a very enthusiastic co-organiser of the Vechtrace. As treasurer he has maintained contact with major sponsors like Euregio. He ensures the smoot running of the registration desk. On the day before the Vechtrace he helps to clear the Vecht of all floating debris and to remove dangerous branches. Because of him the safety of the Vechtrace is guaranteed.
