West Flemish championship of Flemish vinkezang is back

305 checkers brave the infernal rain for the provincial championship in Zedelgem. The first major game since the pandemic.

The principle is very simple, each time the finch in the wooden box sings a complete song ending in a ‘suskewiet’, the finch owner makes a mark on the counting stick with chalk. The finch Selder by Frans Van Ryckegem from Torhout sang about 900 songs.
