GSSV Donar 1881 is a club run by and for the members, and our members choose a new board every year. The board takes care of the daily operations of the club, takes track of the members, tries to spend the subsidies that we receive on new club material, and maintains contact with sister fencing clubs and umbrella organizations.
Serving as a board member is a great opportunity for students to gain executive experience, and it's a lot of fun. If you're interested in becoming a board member, please contact us!
Hi, My name is Jorn and I’m this year's Chairman of Donar. Im 26 years old and I will soon start my premaster in Dutch Law. I started fencing 5 years ago by attending the fencing course from the ACLO. Afterwards I was so excited that I decided to become a member. I fell in love with Donar due to the spirit of our members and the club as a whole!
I'm Yoji, and I currently hold the position of Vice-Chair at Donar. My journey into the world of fencing began just last year when I joined Donar. Despite having no prior experience in fencing, the welcoming environment of Donar immediately drew me in. I quickly became a fervent fan of the sport. What I truly appreciate about Donar is the wonderful balance it offers between socializing and fencing with my fellow club members. It's not just about the sport; it's about the friendships and camaraderie that make this experience so special.
Hey! My name is Sasha, I am 23 years old and originally from Latvia. I was fortunate enough to discover fencing back in 2010 when I was living in Luxembourg, however I only fenced for about 2 years before I rediscovered this fantastic sport a year ago here at Donar. I love spending time and train with all our wonderful members and am thrilled to spend this year as the secretary of Donar.
Hey, I'm Max, a 24-year-old German and a passionate fencer since 2009/2010. Currently pursuing my Masters in Business, I serve as the treasurer at GSSV Donar 1881. Fencing, with its mix of physicality and strategy, resonates with me, emphasizing discipline and camaraderie. I enjoy the international and welcoming atmosphere of Donar1881 and hope to see you in one of our trainings
