NEWS FLASH! Stichting BouwmachinesvanToen

There are a few things to change in BouwmachinesvanToen and for the reason of this change, we must return to the end of the year 2014, when in Harderwijk, The Netherlands, after 40 years the Weg & Bouw Museum has to close its doors. Some part from the machinery disappears to other museums, but the major part of the construction equipment collection is stored.

Now, beginning in 2016, we are pleased that we can inform you that the Stichting (Foundation) Weg & Bouw Museum has been acquired and continues as:

Stichting BouwmachinesvanToen

This with a new board that has the plan to show the machinery collection on a newly developed site in Vinkel, The Netherlands, here the aim is to bring the equipment back in good working condition so that a kind of "working museum" arises , future plans for this are further developed and implemented.

The new board consists of:

• Huub van Dijk - chairman
• Adriënne Ploegmakers - treasurer
• Anton Monshouwer - secretary
• Ad Gevers - board member
• Gilbert Ploegmakers - board member
• Dirk Hoeke - board member
• Niels Hoeke - board member

The "museum" will continue under the new name: "BouwmachinesvanToen Collection" and the website under the name "BouwmachinesvanToen Archive". Both will have their own website and facebook page.

We will keep you up to date on the progress.
