Local community anniversaries and events in Belgium and the Netherlands

WTC Ter Linde, a cycling club based in Brakel, Belgium, is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Founded in 1976 by Etienne Mincke and Marc Verbeurgt, the club has grown from a small group of friends into an established organization within the Flemish Ardennes. The club has hosted various events, including the Brakelse Lenterit and the Flandrienrit, and has evolved to include mountain biking and international trips. The municipality of Brakel extended congratulations to the association for its long-standing community presence.

In the Netherlands, the walking sports association Hart van Brabant is preparing for its 65th annual series of winter walking tours. Starting November 8, 2026, the series will consist of five walks through the forested areas of Tilburg, De Moer, and Loon op Zand. Participants can choose distances of 5, 15, 25, or 35 kilometers. The routes feature updated paths, such as the restored boardwalk at Plakken en Lijkeven, and include rest stops along the way.
