“Yet we are not here to bother,” Rijkers continues. He also wants to be open to change and lets the new policy get rid of a bit. “You always have to move with time.”
The municipality is planning to set up a sounding board group that must relax the collaboration with the clubs. The former chairman of Saenden wants to take a seat there. “Especially for the maintenance of the fields, because there is the pain.”
And something else. At Saenden they actually have nothing to complain about the volunteer file, says the former chairman in the boardroom. Every Monday morning there are twenty volunteers in the canteen. “You just have to tie volunteers to you, with good things and a Christmas stollen.”
Back on the field. With his shovel, the Lord brings out about fifteen centimeters of earth and points satisfied with the thin white carrots and a few worms. “Well done, Aris,” says Rijkers with his hands in his pockets. “On Sunday we are in the front again in the church.”
