Fred. de Meulder organises Dahlia Suppliers Day
Under the name Daverende De Meulder Dahlia Day 2025, more than 40 people left Hillegom by bus for Poeldijk last Friday afternoon, 7 February.
Initiator Bas Reijerkerk of Fred. de Meulder B.V.: ‘The total number of players in the dahlia sector is not that big; everyone fits in one bus. This is why we, as dahlia specialists, find it all the more important to meet regularly to further improve cooperation.’
All attendees had a direct link to dahlias and Fred. de Meulder B.V.: from tuber suppliers to inspectors, from buyers and sellers to breeders, the whole chain was represented.
From the moment the attendees boarded the bus, the atmosphere was convivial and many valuable conversations were held. During the hour-long endurance race in the go-kart centre, things went fanatically.
The team of Jelle van der Linden and Cos Berkvens got to take home the first prize cup. After the race and a joint dinner, the bus arrived back in Hillegom late in the evening.
We look back on a successful afternoon and evening, where there was plenty of room for making new contacts, valuable conversations and conviviality. A wonderful start to an event that could well grow into a fine tradition.
