Ehren's certificate for Platzwart Edwin Gerring: 20 years of use for Bevensen!

In a warm framework, the BSV Union Bevensen Edwin Gerring honored as a place keeper for its incredible 20 years. Gerring, a former footballer and defender, ensured that the place remained in extremely good condition over two decades. Whether sun or rain, it was always there to ensure optimal conditions for the game. The association, which has a fantastic sports facility in the Uelzen district, knew how to appreciate this tireless effort with a warm applause, a certificate of honor and a gift basket. As reports az-online.de, Gerring is not only responsible for maintaining the lawns, but also takes on additional tasks, such as the repair of the irrigation system.

"It is remarkable how much work Edwin is in the place of space," emphasizes Andrea Gerstenkorn, the chairwoman of the association. It emphasizes his role model function and its high operational readiness for the game. Gerring helps to ensure that the lawns in the sand clamps for players and spectators are always in excellent condition.

A strong team on the board

The BSV Union Bevensen has not only developed over the years, but also in the association organization. The board consists of nine members, including a 1st and 2nd chairman, a treasurer and other positions such as the game committee chairman and youth leader. This structure was last supplemented in 2013 to meet the growing requirements, as can be read on the official website of Union Bevensen.

The board members come together regularly to discuss the diverse and complex tasks that arise from the increasing formalism of the Lower Saxony Football Association. The association now has over 360 members and can look back on a sporting tradition of over 35 years. But here too it becomes clear: the willingness to volunteer work decreases and the challenges grow.

volunteering in change

The phenomenon of changing volunteer structures also becomes clear in amateur football. According to an article by hfv-online.de, volunteering has changed in recent years. Fewer and fewer people are involved in the long term, while short -term, earmarked tasks come to the fore. These shift through social changes, such as the increase in all -day schools and long working hours.

Nevertheless, the DFB remains active to strengthen volunteering and win new volunteers. Action plans such as the "chain of employee development" show how important it is to inspire young people for the club work. With over 1.7 million people who volunteer in German football, it is clear that the work of many is indispensable for the preservation and success of the sports clubs.

The BSV Union Bevensen shows how indispensably committed people like Edwin Gerring are in order to maintain tradition and quality in amateur football. In this sense, it will be exciting to observe how the club landscape will develop in the coming years.
