A volunteer-run natural-ice club on Voorne-Putten, skating since 1963

IJsclub "Nooitgedacht" has kept skating alive in Oudenhoorn since 1963, when the association's statutes and house rules were set down before a notary. From the start its volunteers have had a single aim: to make the chance of skating as large as possible. The club lies in the middle of Voorne-Putten, and in 2023 it celebrated its 60th anniversary.

The ice here is natural; in the club's words it is not Thialf ice but natural ice from Oudenhoorn soil, built up through long effort by the volunteers. A 1,200 m2 hard-surfaced scribble rink can be skated on after little frost once it has had the right treatment, and in 2018 NPO Radio 2 broadcast three hours live from the ice under the headline of the most beautiful natural ice rink in South Holland.

The clubhouse gives skaters a warm place to change, with hot and cold drinks and chips, a men's and a women's toilet and a first-aid room for the tumbles that come with learning to skate. A further room stores the sweeping machines that keep snow off the ice, and the volunteers work summer and winter, day and night.
