The competition teams of BadmintonClub Ricochet have received a sponsor in Van Eck & Rigters who has provided all 6 competition teams with a special competition shirt (T-shirt, polo or singlet). This concerns 2 youth teams, 2 recreational teams and 2 competition teams.

New competition member and hairdresser Milou could not be present at the presentation of the shirts, because she had to work that day, a short distance away in Veldpoortstraat! The club members who were present therefore all went to her work to personally hand over her shirt in a kind of flash mob!

Van Eck & Rigters offers contemporary fashion for women and men and has been a household name in Wijk bij Duurstede since 1915.

The shirts were delivered via HINT-Tex in Cothen.
