Alpine club Forchheim grows: almost 4000 members and new leadership!
In the charming Franconian Switzerland, the joy is great: The Forchheim section of the German Alpine Club (DAV) has held a successful annual general meeting with new elections. The chairman Ulrich Schürr was re -elected unanimously and remains at the head of the association, while Dieter Sprott continues to act as deputy chairman. A stable management team is essential for the association, and it turns out that the members are with a lot of commitment and passion for mountain sports. Fraenkischer Tag reports that Schürr reported a remarkable membership growth to almost 4000 members.
The extended board, which will lead the club's fortunes for the next three years, is made up of experienced members. In addition to the chairman and the deputy chairman, the closer board also includes Thomas Neubauer as treasurer, Franka Struve-Waasner as secretary and Jutta Strom-Haensch as a youth officer. The latter told proudly about the lively youth work, which brings over 500 young people closer to climbing. The positive response to the activities shows that the youth in the DAV Forchheim is very important.
varied offer and solid finance
The association not only shines with a high number of members, but also with a wide range that extends from mountaineering to skiing and cave research to mountain biking. The healthy financial situation, which treasurer Thomas Neubauer reported in the meeting, is particularly gratifying. There was also praise for the committed work of Struve-Waasner and Strom-Haensch as well as for the support of Dieter Sprott.
A look at the infrastructure shows the vitality of the DAV. The section offers activities in ten different adult groups, including special family and youth groups. Furthermore, the new climbing and bouldering hall in Forchheim is open to all members who can meet there every Tuesday between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m.
honors and changes
There was a special honor for Helmut Sentner, who was adopted from his office as a climbing and ski tour guide after decades. His commitment to the DAV will remain unforgettable, even if Andrea Diehl from Obertrubach has now been appointed to the office. This also has extended opening times in Wieststraße 2 in Forchheim in order to better meet the needs of the members.
A look at the numbers of the entire DAV shows the importance of the sections in Germany. According to alpenverein.de , over 1.57 million members are currently organized in 355 sections. The popularity of mountain sports is growing, and more people find their way into nature. The offer of the Alpine Club includes over 100,000 individual events per year, which underlines the momentum and commitment in this community.
The future of the DAV Forchheim seems to be secured and the commitment of its members is clearly noticeable. An association that looks back on a long tradition of over 150 years shows that the love of nature and mountain sport is unbroken.
