09/08/2011: Congratulations! HBN wins third price!
We would like to thank all the Polish, Hungarian and Dutch businessman for participating in the VPNO-HBN football tournament and we hope you enjoyed it! A rainy sunday spent outside on a field, rather than inside, can be considered as an healthy plus!
We congratulate the Winners: Remo 4 (Dutch based, Polish company PPHU Pęcherzewski), the second prize winners: Polbau (Dutch, German and Poland based, Polish building company) and the third prize winners: HBN (us).
We invite everybody to participate next year. Probably we will group a bit different, so that the losers among us, like VPNO (us) or Ball Busters (the biggest mix of different nationalities, specialities and football level), will get a chance to win a match, and we promise we will do something about the dressing rooms.
We thank the other teams which we did not mention above CB&I ( Chicago Bridge & Iron Engineers) CLN (CB&I & Lumus Netherlands ), Croatia (Gyron Crew, Singapore and Holland based, shipping crew agency), PontMeyer (Dutch whole sale of building materials, especially the Amsterdam and Hague team), Dreamteam and our referees: Tonci Bezmalinovic (Bezmalinovic Legal Ways, Rotterdam) and Ronald Lafeber, director of Gyron Crew), and the stand in referees: Pieter Salemink, (Pacer Engineers). We thank Monika Stępien (Unique Performance.eu) and Kasia Nowak-De Gooijer (PontMeyer), who helped to organize this event, and all the others who helped out. The list is not complete without our sponsors: VPNO (Vereniging Pools Nederlandse Ondernemers), HBN (Hungarian Business network), Houtappel Advocatenkantoor (Rotterdam based law office, brave player of the VPNO team, and co-organiser) and PPHU Pęcherewski and Bezmalinovic Legal Ways.
Present on the fields was one of the bravest of us, considering the weather, the photographer, Odi Busman (Odi Busman fotografie, Den Haag).
Of course we invite everybody to join as a member of HBN or VPNO and to check our sites for upcoming events (next for HBN will be: sailing event, and for VPNO: II Forum for Dutch- Polish Business). If you want we can put you on a mailing list, just let us know.
If you want to train for next year (we had some signals), let us know. We will contact you with the other team(s).
Thank you all for a pleasant afternoon and see you next year!
HBN: André Komáromi, Dóra Füzy, Judit Szalai, Éva Péliné Balog, Jan Sinke
VPNO, Jarek Solowski (president), Kasia Nowak-De Gooijer, Małgorzata Sołtyskiewicz and Balthazar Houtappel
