The following text is from a booklet published by the Federation of Netherlands Societies Ltd. in February 1985. The research for this booklet was done by Mijntje Hagen.
This Federation was formed a few years ago to incorporate all the existing “klaverjasclubs”, whether they were part of an organisation or a separate entity. The Federation organises several tournaments each year: one during the Holland Festival, in February, an annual tournament for couples, an annual tournament for singles, and one on the Queen’s Birthday Weekend, sponsored by the Dutch Australian Weekly.
There are ten affiliated card clubs: Gios in Blacktown, D.W.S. in Sutherland, F.K.C. in Fairfield, D.A.S.I. in Wollongong, P.K.C. in Penrith, Neerlandia in French’s Forest, Ons Genoegen in Curl Curl and S.K.C. in Sutherland. The Canberra card club attends some of the tournaments, but is not yet a member of the Klaverjas Federation.
