Official opening of KVC korfball club's accommodation
On Friday, March 28, the accommodation of korfball club KVC was officially opened by Alderman Hetty van der Hamsvoort. The combined efforts of the original four korfball clubs deserve praise.
KVC, which stands for Klimroos VVO Combinatie, was formed in 2020 through a merger of the korfball clubs from Netersel, Casteren, Hoogeloon, and Hapert. They joined forces and eventually found a new home in Hapert.
In 2023, the fields were completed, and last year the old accommodation was demolished. On October 1, 2025, the new building was delivered. Over the past few months, the contractor and the club have worked hard to resolve the remaining issues. The members of KVC have put in a tremendous effort, resulting in a beautiful canteen, kitchen, and additional rooms. From the very beginning of the merger, and again during the realization of this project, the club has shouldered the responsibility with pride. Everyone involved with KVC can be very proud of this achievement. With this new accommodation, KVC is ready for the future.
