Well hello flamingo's!
Many things have happened. We are almost at the end of the year, but we still have some upcoming things and of course old things to tell you about.
Updates:
Activities from the last period:
NSK competition Tilburg
We had yet another successful competition. Luckily we came home this time with both our flag and our dear Flippie. A lot of people were dressed up very nice for the theme: Out of this world. We are very proud of everyone who participated and a special shout out to the medallers under us.
Arashi exchange training
On back to back days we had the Arashi exchange training, where they came to us on wednesday and the day after we went to them. They were super excited and quick learners. It was however noticeable they struggle with pushing out. Seeing as they always try best each other by pulling. They were also very excited to learn that Tjerk was once a part of Linea Recta. This promised a very fun training the next day, which it was. And also very exhausting.
Batavierenrace
This year as well as years before Linea Recta was represented at the Batavierenrace. And what a sight. Thomas ran over the U-track with our flag and a flamingo around his waist. And Luz from U-turn made a back handspring right before the finish line. Of course, since we are located right here in Enschede, we also organize the BBQ for all the student gymnastics associations. Which after a little struggle was also a delicious success.
Sportgala
After two years the Sportgala was finally there. We dominated the Waarbeek with all our Linea Rectans. We made a ton of super cool photos and gathered so many cups to make a tower to drink from. A lot of people wore super cute pins, like the board ;). Will we see you there next year.
Lustrum photoshoot
On the last day of May we had the Lustrum photoshoot. With a professional photographer. All the lights were turned off, so there was a really cool effect to the photos. Unfortunately, this also meant we had some trouble with seeing where to jump and where to land. This caused for some really scary moments, but, overall it was a lot of fun and we can’t wait to see all the pictures.
New KB
Drumroll please…….. Because we have our new Candidate Board!! Whooohoooo!! We’d like to formally introduce to you Esther Mulder as our Chairwomen, Elfi Jenkins as our secretary, Ben van Viegen as our Treasur(er), Elske Feenstra as Officer of Internal Affaires and Jasper Wichers as Officer of External Affaires. We hope they are as excited as we are.
