Last Friday, 25 April, Frank Peters was honored with a royal award by becoming a member of the Order of Orange-Nassau for his contributing in both international and national bandy.
Order of Orange-Nassau was created on 4 April 1892. It is conferred on people who have made a contribution of outstanding value to the community. Examples include volunteers working with young people or refugees, or involved in environmental conservation, informal care, neighbourhood associations or sports clubs. The Order is also awarded to people for outstanding achievements in their work, surpassing those of others in their field and exceeding what would normally be expected of someone in their particular job.
Frank Peters has been a board member of the Dutch Bandy Federation for many years and as such he led the organization.
