You may or may not have heard about “Vaarwelkom”, the upcoming event in Grou on October 1&2. In either case, the Vaarwelkom weekend is the closing event of the Splash/Flash season of 2005 and it is not to be missed. A variety of activities will keep you entertained during this weekend when the Pikmeer and the Wijde Ee will be teeming with Splashes and Flashes. In the evenings, it’s party time since this event is meant to be a festive farewell to the 18-year old Splash sailors, and an as festive welcome to those who will join the Flash class next year.
This time the Farewelcome Weekend is going to be an international affair with participants from Germany, Sweden, Poland, Great Britain, Belgium and of course, the Netherlands.

This leaflet will provide you with the necessary information about the event and an entry form. We look forward to meet you in Grou!
