As we welcome new staff on board, we also say farewell to a few colleagues. We would like to extend our thanks to our coaches Aike Visbeek (seven years), Arthur van Dongen (four years) and trainer Hendrik Werner (three years) for all of their hard work and dedication during their time with us. After nine years with the team our scientific expert Teun van Erp also moves onto ventures new in a role in Cape Town. Their combined efforts helped us to numerous successes and countless great memories together and we wish them all the best of luck in their new challenges.
