DLRG Twistringen celebrates anniversary: Festival in the swimming park on August 24th

The DLRG local group Twistringen is celebrating an important anniversary this year, which not only recognizes the past 50 years, but also takes a look into the future. A big celebration will be held in the swimming park of Twistringen on August 24, which is under the motto "50 years together". Chairman Bernhard Meyer is optimistic and wishes for the event good weather so that the celebrations can take place undisturbed.

The importance of the DLRG for the community

The work of the DLRG has played an important role in training and security in Twistringen. With around 380 members, two thirds of whom are actively participating in the programs, the local group forms a strong community. These membership numbers are a remarkable increase compared to the 50 founding members who laid the foundation stone. The continuous work to obtain new members shows the commitment of Bernhard Meyer and his board team, which also indicate the importance of volunteering.

diverse training offers for young people

A central element of the DLRG work in Twistringen is swimming training. The youth are actively addressed, and the possibilities range from the seahorse test to the lifeguard swimmer. The training also includes snorkeling and device diving, which is an exciting challenge for many participants. These efforts are not only a way to learn security skills, but also promote team spirit and responsibility among young people.

The close cooperation with the city

The good cooperation with the city of Twistringen is another important aspect. The DLRG participates in urban events, such as the holiday box, and uses the swimming park as a permanent training location. This synergy has contributed to improving the training and at the same time strengthening the sense of community. Bernhard Meyer is sure that the swimming park is a decisive advantage for the local DLRG group to offer regular training.

an extensive anniversary program

The anniversary event is accompanied by a diverse program that includes both child and youth activities and political speeches. Over 100 guests are expected, including members of the state and members of the Bundestag. The celebration offers a platform to reflect on the successes of recent years and at the same time develop visions for the future. Meyer hopes that the DLRG local group Twistringen will continue to grow and maintain its importance in the community.

outlook for the coming years

Bernhard Meyer, who has been heading the DLRG local group for almost three decades, is optimistic about the future. With mergers, such as the base of the DLRG Sulingen, new initiatives are launched to promote the stability and growth of the community. The upcoming celebrations are not only a look back at the past, but also an outlook on new ways of cooperation and opportunities for the members of the DLRG.
