A Brielle ice club born in the winter of 1997

IJsclub De Brielsche Geuzen began in the very severe winter of January 1997, when a group of keen skaters came up with the idea of a skating tour. A thick layer of ice lay in the harbours of Brielle and on the Brielse Meer, and about 500 children and parents took part.

The board then set out to lay out its own rink. In October 1998 an application to change the zoning plan was submitted for a first site, and 36 objections came in. A second site behind the car park on the Thoelaverweg was found in April and did not go ahead either. The rink ended up at the end of the Zwartewegje, on land managed by the Recreatieschap Voorne-Putten en Rozenburg.

Work began on 2 December 1999 with an underground plastic screen sunk 1.90 metres deep to stop the water seeping sideways. The municipality of Brielle contributed funds and two free light masts. The first skating took place on 27 December 2000, for a single day. Each year before winter the municipal works fill the rink with a movable pump.
