From September 22nd until September 29th the F.F. of Fortaleza, Brazil,  visited our club. On the programme a visit of the château of  Alden Biesen (Teutonic Order), Tongeren (the oldest town of Belgium), Bruges and Brussels. Our fruit day was a huge success. The official welcome was at the town hall of Tongeren. Not the local hero from Roman times,  Ambiorix,  but the mayor,  Patrick Dewael (a former Belgian vice Prime Minister) gave the speech to welcome our guests. A great exchange.
