Committees
Just like any association, Hydrofiel cannot exist without its active members. Throughout the year, our active members enthusiastically contribute to the association in various ways. They join different committees that organize tournaments, activities, or parties. Are you interested in joining one of the committees? Then send an email to bestuur@hydrofiel.nl! At the beginning of each year, the committees are filled again, and there is a spot in all of them. If you became a member later or if you decide after a few months that you want to become active, ask a board member which committees still have an available spot!
Here is a list of the many committees that Hydrofiel has:
Advisory committee
The advisory committee consists of 2 or 4 people. The members of the advisory committee receive the minutes of the board meetings and advise the board on various matters. The main goal of the advisory committee is to support the board in making administrative decisions.
Audit committee
The kascontrole committee is generally filled by former treasurers. Who perform a controlling function for the current treasurer.
Activity committee
The activities committee is often one of the largest committees. As the name suggests, they organize monthly activities that many Hydrofiel members enthusiastically participate in. Examples of activities include bowling, lasergamen, a beer cantus, game night, you name it! Hydrofiel also goes on a Hydrofiel weekend every year, which always creates fantastic memories.
Batavieren committee
The Batavierenrace is the world's largest relay race, where students from all over the Netherlands run in relay form from Nijmegen to Enschede. The Batavieren Committee ensures a well-filled team of runners who, through organized running training, achieve a good performance every year.

Four to five times a year, the Bep Committee publishes the association's magazine, which is filled with reports of activities, photos, quotes, fun facts, interviews with Hydrofiel members, and other cool stuff. Reading or writing the Bep will surely put a big smile on your face.
