[L to R]: Golf day winners – Rob Bordman, Mr X, Piet Groen, Peter Zietsman
At the branch we remain active and had a good tech evening in April. The subject was lightning protection presented by Phoenix Contact; it was attended by a good 24 interested persons. The highlight for May was our annual golf day. As usual well attended and enjoyed. The spirit was good and the weather played its part, making it another memorable occasion. Judging by the photos I wonder how the winning team made it – partially undressed and all. From the branch, we extend our appreciation and thanks to the sponsors who supported the day in spite of the economic crisis they have to face as well.
