Howden Thomassen Family Day - 'Battle of the Stars'

The annual Howden Thomassen Family Day took place on the first Saturday of September. On the grounds where the Dutch Olympic Team is preparing for London 2012, the Howden Thomassen families practised and explored their own sporting skills.

Sales & Service secretary Hannelore Wigman points out that both location and organisation were excellent again this year. They make this day an event her family certainly does not want to miss. “I especially enjoyed the fact that my five-year-old son felt so comfortable among my colleagues and their children”.

Workshops
To get everyone in shape and in the mood a wide variety of sports & workshops was offered, such as Nordic Walking, Mountain Biking, Pitch&Put, Fencing, Zumba, Ultimate Frisbee and so on.

Sportsmanship
The afternoon programme provided a great deal of excitement. Mixed teams of colleagues, spouses and children competed against one another in a real “battle of the stars” as participants, captains or supporters. The key elements here were teamwork, sportsmanship, intelligence and, above all, fun.
