We would like to thank you all without your input from the different angles, we as an organization would never have succeeded. We as an organization, and I as co-founder of the tour, can look back to a period of which we can be very proud. And luckily we can look everyone straight in the eye from day one, the start until the day of improper eviction. We don't have to be ashamed of anyone. Even if it was sometimes swimming against the current, but that doesn't matter. We are proud and DB YET International cannot take that away from us.
In all these years we have received many thousands of youth players at one of our tournaments. It was always an event. Of course, many thanks also go to all sponsors who have supported us in our activities over the past few years. We would never have been able to do it without your input.
And also thanks to the bowling operator(s) Ronald (Chandra Bowling) and his successor Marcel (Franky's Bowling) in Nieuwegein, they were the important link in the success for us because their cooperation with their hostesses and gentlemen who have provided us with food and drinks. They knew little to no boundaries, so we would never have come to these streamlined tournaments without them.
Despite the fact that it is over in an undesirable way for us as an organization, we can look back on many years of fun. At the start there were doubts from various quarters whether we would succeed in putting an International tournament on the map. We have proven that if you really want something in real honest cooperation with others you will certainly succeed.
Lastly, a thank you to the organization
Alfons and Celine Ubert, Michel Slootweg and Els Velthuysen, Carl Schröder, André van Kempen, Angela van der Heijden, Edgar Ubert, Jaap and Patrick Badon Ghijben, Arno Hummelink † and Vincent van Wichen. And all the other volunteers who helped us for a short time.
It certainly would not have been possible without their efforts.
From now on we will enjoy our own free time.
Louis van der Heijden
Chairman YET Netherlands
