Sports Committee
After two long, very unsportive, years the Spoco has finally returned! To mark the return of this wonderful committee I (Reinder) will introduce our lovely members here below.
Eva is one of our most sporty members, she was even chosen as our strongest member to represent our committee! She is also a member of a powerlifting association in Groningen. Coming off of a board year last year, she offers us helpful insights for our committee.
Daan (Mekel) makes up one half of our dynamic Daan duo. As our secretary he keeps note of our meetings and sneaks in some very ‘sick’ words for us to find. In the meetings Daan is always sharp and keeps everyone on their toes, especially when it comes to our penalty points.
Erben is one of our first-time committee members, even though he has been active at Ubbo for far longer. He is also quite diverse when it comes to sport: First of all he plays football, but also enjoys working out and playing padel. As our treasurer he works to keep our finances organised and has had some creative ideas for our activities.
Tiemen (Riemen) is one of our two PR members and is also a first-year Ubbo member. He is one of our creative driving forces, working hard on our posters and our committee logo! He is also quite a big story teller, you should ask him about the time he almost became the king of the Netherlands.
Bram (Pram) completes our PR duo and is also a first-year Ubbo member. He is also one of our creative workhorses, but most notably a kickboxer at heart. Always active during meetings, Bram is always eager to give his input and also enjoys a nice beer. He and Tiemen are responsible for our fabulous posters, which should compel you to get up and moving this year!
Daan (De boer), or also Doenoe, is our general member and he brings a ton of experience to our committee meetings. Not only does he have great insight into the association, but he also has really nice cats, which brighten every meeting we have over at Daan’s. As our general member he doesn’t have any official tasks, but pitches in with ideas and most notably, humour.
Last but not least, myself, Reinder. As chair, I make sure that the agenda is sent to the members, which is preferably on time. I also make sure to keep the committee focused, when they prefer to go on tangents or tell (semi-true) stories.
