Henk Hoving & Thijs van Reijn

Henk Hoving & Thijs van Reijn – Honorary Members since September 24th 2019

One may encounter Henk and Thijs, godsons of Mr. and Mrs. De Winter, at any Dies Natalis or New Year’s Dinner. Despite their age, they are still very much involved with the association, regularly attending activities. They have been doing so for years, carrying on the name De Winter, perpetuating the atmosphere from the association’s early days. As such, the notion ‘Open house De Winter’ has prevailed thanks to the twice-yearly dinner parties that they organize for past board members.

When speaking to them during one of those events, you will notice that they are passionate about our association. They like to keep up-to-date on the state of affairs, and stress the importance of good representation of Arago at, for instance, the Dies of the university. Furthermore, we highly recommend that you ask Henk or Thijs about the history of the De Winters, and thereby the history of S.V. Arago. There are truly special stories that only they are able to tell.

In part due to these special efforts that Henk and Thijs have maintained for along time, the General Assembly that took place on September 12th 2019 has decided to appoint them Honorary Members.
