Memorial Sportsfriends G.V.A.V. Rapiditas

In the current clubhouse GVAV Rapiditas is a plaque in memory of four sportsfriends who were killed in the period 1940-1945 by acts of war.

The plaque was placed in 1947 in the dressing room of the former Oosterparkstadion at the Zaagmuldersweg, moved to the sports fields of het van Starkenborgkanaal and now hangs in the new clubhouse in Kardinge.

On the plaque is the text:

1940 - 1945
G.V.A.V.- Rapiditas

In memory
to our fallen sports friends

O.Glastra
B.Kuiper
J.A.C.Meijer
