In 1986, he became a board member (youth chairman and secretary). He held these posts until 1991. From 1991 to 2005, he served as administrator and general competition secretary. In 2005, he became secretary of the executive committee, whilst continuing his work as administrator for the club. He continued in this role until December 2025.<\/p>\n<p>In his voluntary roles for CSV Apeldoorn, he took on a wide range of tasks. These ranged from organising referees, allocating changing rooms and pitches, distributing kit and keeping track of results, to purchasing equipment, handling KNVB disciplinary cases and arranging gifts for anniversaries. As an administrator, he devoted many hours over the years to maintaining the (membership) records, which he did with the utmost precision.<\/p>\n<p>He has also been involved in organising the Apeldoorn Cup since 2017, the annual tournament for all first teams from Apeldoorn\u2019s football clubs. In his role as match secretary, he ensures that the tournament runs smoothly \u2013 from filling in the match forms and keeping track of the time to allocating the changing rooms.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Dijkman\u2019s long-standing and wide-ranging commitment, together with his meticulous approach and reliability, are testament to his exceptional dedication to community life.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ger Dijkman (78) from Apeldoorn received a royal honour on Saturday 6 June 2026 from Mayor Ton\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":18500,"parent":415,"menu_order":13,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"nieuws","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[301,66],"tags":[],"folder":[],"class_list":["post-18498","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-samenleving","category-home"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.1 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Koninklijke onderscheiding G.A.
