The die is cast: Fondunie 2000 will organize the national game with championships for international flights starting in the 2025 season.
During an extremely positive meeting in Tiel, the foundation for this was laid on Tuesday, March 4. In the preceding months, the board of Fondunie 2000 established contacts to expand their game with the southern departments to give a fitting continuation to the defunct ZLU-game. The board has been expanded to 4 members and will continue under the old and trusted name: Fondunie 2000.
Under the inspiring leadership of chairman Henk Wegh, there was a unified direction during the meeting, and good agreements were made on how the whole will be structured.
Thus, there will be a national game on which participants can form pools and championships will be contested. Participation in the competition is entirely voluntary; forming pools is not mandatory. Participants automatically take part in the championships.
A competition will be organized for all 7 international flights (provided that the NPO members council approves the board proposal on March 8, 2025). For Agen, a separate national yearling competition will also be established.
In addition to the Fondunie 2000 championships, participants in the mentioned competitions will also compete for the title of Fondunie 2000 Marathon Champion.
A European Marathon will also be organized, in which foreign sport friends can participate. The international results will serve as benchmarks.
Apart from all this, the board holds transparency and openness in high regard. The principle is: 'A game by and for the enthusiasts with honest information for everyone.'
Who will bring all this to fruition: Henk Wegh, Paul van den Berg, Jaap Mazee, Erica Saarloos, Raymond Schalkwijk, Jaco van Nieuwamerongen, Ron Krijgsman, Jeroen van Heumen, and Hans Bodelier.
All information for the 2025 season will be summarized in an information booklet that will be sent to enthusiasts in mid-May 2025. Many addresses of enthusiasts are known, but if you want to be sure not to miss anything, please send your name and address details to info@fondunie2000.nl and the booklet will be sent free of charge.

With sporting regards,
Board of Fondunie 2000.
