\"FilsFor the second year in a row, Combell\u2019s most sporty employees participated in the Fils de la Palette ping-pong tournament. And it was a thrilling contest, which required a lot of concentration. Here is a brief report...<\/p>\n

The Vedett After Work ping-pong tournament, which was organized last year by Fils de la Palette<\/a> in the Franse Vaart, was greatly appreciated by Combell\u2019s collaborators<\/a>. And the Vedett beer that was offered to all thirsty participants during these exciting games have been quite welcome too.<\/p>\n

So, we had to do it again, which is why four brave Combell employees<\/a> signed up for the new tournament as soon as it was announced for 3 December. When the big evening arrived, Stijn Van Der Biest, Michiel Van de Veire, Dries Vergote and Matthias Dekeyser left, cheered by five enthusiastic supporters, for MeetDistrict<\/a>, the co-working place in the Ghelamco arena.<\/p>\n

As its name suggests, the tournament is a combination of sports and entertainment, of ping-pong and beer, for colleagues who want to relax and have a chat after work. So, this kind of tournament is clearly more about enthusiasm and fun than actual ping-pong skills.<\/p>\n

However, the pictures taken during the Vedette Fils de la Palette tournament<\/a> clearly show that the 23 teams<\/a> played to win. See how focused the participants were! And look at all those red cheeks \u2013 although perhaps the physical efforts were not the only reason for this; maybe this had something to do with all the Vedett beers that our \u201cathletes\u201d enjoyed so much\u2026<\/p>\n

The unexpected winner was Alexandre Rosemarin \u2013 an \u201c\u00e9minence grise\u201d, in every sense of the term, in view of his grey t-shirt and short grey hair. However, in a sporting gesture, he handed the trophy to Ine Now\u00e9, who is definitely no stranger in national tennis circles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Fils<\/p>\n

Anyway, it was once again a very successful event. And hats off to all the participants!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
