1968
Winnaar NCC 1968
The Dutch name 'Merel' is not only a medium-sized songbird, but also the name of the winning longdrink in our national competition in 1968. Gerard Laanen won the Dutch Championship for the 3rd time. A record that would hold for years to come. Gerard worked at the illustrious Savoy Club in The Hague. The place to be at that time!
