Due to some internal staff developments it has not been possible since the general member meeting of the LDA on 20 April last at Bochum/Germany to publish news by means of this internet site. We can now inform you that the meeting in Bochum has gone well and that the statutes, presented and discussed by President Ms Hennie Nagtegaal have been approved. Since this time, these have been legalised and passed to the notary. Also the governing board, as it presented himself during the meeting, has been accepted by the members. That means that the President Hennie Nagtegaal is supported by Ms Ellen van den Berg, who has herself taken the role as a treasurer. For the position of secretary, a job oppotunity lies open. Marketing falls under the responsibility of Gerry Walters and Chiel van Praag, Ron van den Berg and John Armstrong take the public relations under their wings.

Hennie Nagtegaal will concentrate on the drawing up of domestic regulations, as Ellen van den Berg will on financial reports. The marketing men will themselves work on the end tournament in 2008,: LDA Members Championships. Public relations will provide news and updates by means of the Internet site, where John Armstrong, amongst other things, will ensure complete up-to-date Lda-ranking. Web master Wim Filemon remains looking after and maintaining the Internet site.
