FROM THE PRESIDENT
Hello all
The club has continued to be busy with a good turnout for Wednesday coffee mornings and Sunday
afternoons. We recently enjoyed the annual BBQ on a lovely sunny Sunday afternoon. We had the tables outside and
it was a gezellige middag.
It is only a matter of weeks and it will be Koningsdag. The Orange Comité have once again been very busy working on
creating an exciting celebration. Hopefully many of you will come and enjoy this event, which will again be at The
Rock Event Centre on Thurs 30 April.
The weekend before – Sunday 26 April - will be the Big Dutch Day Out in Foxton, organised by De Molen, and
I am looking forward to being there. There will be Dutch food and Dutch games in front of De Molen, the Dutch
bakery will be open and the local Maori group Te Taitoa Maori o Te Awahou will open their Whare Manaaki to give
people‎an‎opportunity‎to‎look‎at‎local‎artwork.‎‎We‎won’t‎however‎be‎able‎to‎see‎the‎progress‎made‎with‎the‎
museum project; this has been postponed until later this year, probably August.
Our AGM is coming up and you will see there is a proposal to change the constitution to have an option of
co-presidents, which is something to consider. As a working mother I would certainly like to share the role if this was
possible.
On another note, I understand some people have been hoping to meet me on a Wednesday coffee morning.
It would be lovely to be able to attend but my work commitments make this impossible. Aside from attending most
of the events we run, I am also sometimes at the Club on a Sunday to be on duty. I will be there on 17 May and also
21 June and would be keen to meet you.
Wishing you all the best.
Jeltsje Keizer
FROM THE SECRETARY AND EDITOR
Dear all,
I’ve‎just‎returned‎from‎a‎sunny, interesting weekend in Christchurch with my eldest daughter, Susanne. The
Netherlands Society Christchurch celebrated its 50th Jubilee, and we went to the reception on the 20th and to their
market day on the 22nd. Our club gave a large card that was signed by many of our members; the Federation gave a
rimu plaque to commemorate the occasion. More in De Schakel and on eir Facebook page (open to all)
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Netherlands-Society-Christchurch-NZ
AGM on 17 May: the Agenda, as well as the remits, are included in this issue. The 5 pages of 2014 minutes will
be available at the meeting, or on request. Please bring the agenda and remits with you as we will not have copies
at the AGM. As usual, we will have refreshments afterwards.
Thank you to all of you who paid your membership fee before the end of March – your membership card (if I
haven’t‎given‎it‎to‎you‎already)‎is‎included‎in‎this‎issue. We will not issue separate receipts this year. To those of you
who‎haven’t‎yet‎paid:‎‎please‎do‎so‎soon‎as‎fees‎are‎now‎due. You need to be a paid-up member to vote at the AGM
or to stand for the committee.
In April New Zealand remembers the soldiers who died during the world wars; in May we Dutch remember both
the day all of The Netherlands was liberated, as well as those who died in World War II. My choice of poem for this
issue is the poignant ‘Het lied der achttien dooden'. This was written in 1941 by Jan Campert, and was illegally
published in 1943.
Anne-Marie Knibbeler, 04 9717571
DE JANTJES – DVD morning, 27 May at 10am
The main location in this story is a typical 1920s Amsterdam pub, where the regulars share with each other
their lives, loves, and gossip with much intrigue and, above all, lots of humour. De Jantjes (the sailors), after having
finished their conscription in the Royal Navy, are disappointed with life outside the navy and decide to sign up for six
years of military service in the then Netherlands East Indies.
Toenail Culture Ale is a Christchurch-base, Dutch language amateur drama group who performs original
Dutch plays. De Jantjes was performed three times in 2014 and we are showing the DVD that was made of the
performance. So come and see it on WEDNESDAY 27 MAY, at 10:30am in the clubrooms. Clubrooms will open at
10am. Many thanks to Toenail Culture Ale, for giving us a chance to see their work.

Het Lied Der Achttien Dooden
Een cel is maar twee meter lang
en nauw twee meter breed,
wel kleiner nog is het stuk grond,
dat ik nu nog niet weet,
maar waar ik naamloos rusten zal,
mijn makkers bovendien,
wij waren achttien in getal,
geen zal den avond zien.
O lieflijkheid van licht en land,
van Holland's vrije kust,
eens door den vijand overmand
had ik geen uur meer rust.
Wat kan een man oprecht en trouw,
nog doen in zulk een tijd?
Hij kust zijn kind,
hij kust zijn vrouw
en strijdt den ijdlen strijd.
Ik wist de taak die ik begon,
een taak van moeiten zwaar,
maar't hart dat het niet laten kon
schuwt nimmer het gevaar;
het weet hoe eenmaal in dit land
de vrijheid werd geeerd,
voordat een vloekbre schennershand
het anders heeft begeerd.
Voordat die eeden breekt en bralt
het miss'lijk stuk bestond
en Holland's landen binnenvalt
en brandschat zijnen grond;
voordat die aanspraak maakt op eer
en zulk Germaansch gerief
ons volk dwong onder zijn beheer
en plunderde als een dief.
De Rattenvanger van Berlijn
pijpt nu zijn melodie,
- zoo waar als ik straks dood zal zijn
de liefste niet meer zie
en niet meer breken zal het brood
en slapen mag met haarverwerp al wat hij biedt
of bood die sluwe vogelaar.
Gedenkt die deze woorden leest
mijn makkers in den nood
en die hen nastaan 't allermeest
in hunnen rampspoed groot,
gelijk ook wij hebben gedacht
aan eigen land en volk
- er daagt een dag na elken nacht,
voorbij trekt iedre wolk.
Ik zie hoe't eerste morgenlicht
door 't hooge venster draalt.
Mijn God, maak mij het sterven licht
- en zoo ik heb gefaald
gelijk een elk wel falen kan,
schenk mij dan Uw gena,
opdat ik heenga als een man
als 'k voor de loopen sta.
Jan Campert 1902-1943

REASONS FOR PROPOSAL TO CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION AND RULES
Before I was nominated President of the Dutch Club at our last AGM, Ellen van Dijken and I agreed
that we would prefer to work as co-presidents. Unfortunately for us this was not possible last AGM with
the current rules of the Constitution, so I became President and Ellen, Vice-President. We propose a
change to the constitution that would make it possible to have co-presidents.
Some of the benefits of co-presidents include an an opportunity to share responsibilities, to
facilitate better co-operation and problem solving and to develop new leaders. There is less risk of one
person becoming isolated. Furthermore it means both presidents can work to their strengths. Being able
to share roles might encourage younger Dutch immigrants to become members of the club and be more
involved.
It is not unprecedented to have co-leaders. There are a number of NZ political parties that do this,
The Kindergarten Association, Play Centre, NZ University Students Association are all examples where this
has been the norm. Although we were happy to take on a leadership role we were concerned about our
ability to do this effectively with limited time. In Ellen and my case, we are both working parents who, like
many others in the club, have a lot going on our lives. So being co-presidents would mean sharing the
leadership of the Dutch club.
Our proposal to make it possible for the club to have co-presidents, is of course not pre-supposing
the‎election‎result!‎It‎also‎doesn’t‎mean‎we have to have co-presidents – the option for vice-president and
president remains – but it gives us this option should we want it.
I am happy to discuss this further (via email or phone) if you would like to know more.

Operation Chowhound: The Most Risky, Most Glorious US Bomber Mission of World War II
By Stephen Dando-Collins
The Hunger Winter of 1944-45 is ingrained into the memory of the Dutch nation. April-May 2015 brings the
th
70 anniversary of Operations Chowhound and Manna, the combined USAAF and RAF effort to feed 3.5 million
starving Dutch civilians in German-occupied western Holland in the dying days of the war, in the wake of the Hunger
Winter.
Issue 2015/2
Page 9
In his new book, Operation Chowhound, published by Palgrave Macmillan in the US
and UK on February 24 and April 1 in Australia and New Zealand, internationally renowned
Australian historical author Stephen Dando-Collins brings to light the tense machinations
behind the largest airborne humanitarian mission in history to that time, the incredible
logistics of the mission itself, and the personal stories of many who planned and flew the
mission and of many Dutch people involved in it – Queen Wilhelmina and Prince Bernhard,
who moved heaven and earth to get it off the ground, and numerous Dutch civilians who
received the manna from heaven – including a teenaged Audrey Hepburn in Velp. James Bond
creator Ian Fleming is also part of the story – he had to give German-born Prince Bernhard a
security clearance before he could push the plan to feed the Dutch from the air.
RAF‎air‎commodore‎Andrew‎Geddes,‎who‎was‎brought‎in‎by‎General‎Eisenhower’s‎
chief of staff General Walter Bedell Smith to plan the mercy mission – which he did in less
than two weeks - was‎to‎describe‎Operations‎Chowhound‎and‎Manna‎‎as‎‘as‎historically‎important‎as‎D-Day’.‎He‎
should have known, having been one of the D-Day planners.

"En toen was ik mijn Nederlanderschap kwijt"
De Nationale ombudsman start een onderzoek naar aanleiding van een klacht van een
echtpaar dat door het aannemen van een andere nationaliteit hun Nederlanderschap
kwijtraakte. Dit hadden zij nooit gewild. Hun klacht is dat de overheid hierover onvoldoende informatie verstrekt.

Hebt u uw Nederlandse nationaliteit in het buitenland verloren?
2.
a. Kwam dit door het aannemen van een andere nationaliteit? of
b. Kwam dit door het feit dat u naast de Nederlandse nationaliteit een andere nationaliteit hebt en langer dan

3.
Wilde u uw Nederlandse nationaliteit behouden?
4.
Mogen we uw contactgegevens?
