Military celebration held in Willich, America
In the picturesque town of Willich, located in the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia, three prominent figures have been making a significant impact in the community. Marcel van den Bergh, Bernt Lucke, and René Larbalette, who serve as ministers in the King's House, have been instrumental in the ASV shooting festival and the town's royal year celebrations.
Marcel van den Bergh, captain of the "Power of the Night" hunting troop, has a rich history with the ASV. He began his shooting career with the Bird Carriers and is now a founding member of the ASV troop. In his free time, Marcel enjoys cycling and runs the family's weekly market business, specialising in wild and poultry game. Marcel, who grew up in the northern part of Willich, attended Willicher Heide Elementary School.
Bernt Lucke, a native of Willicher, has been active in the ASV for many years. He served as a minister to his father, King Paul Lucke, in 2007 and currently manages the club's sponsors. Bernt's shooting career also began with the Bird Carriers. After leading a company on Walzwerkstraße in the Becker steelworks for 30 years, Bernt sold his company two years ago and now works part-time in real estate. His wife, Astrid Lucke, is a self-employed speech therapist in Osterath.
René Larbalette, another minister, is a master gardener and runs his business "Larbalette Garden and More GmbH" on Ploenesweg in the north of Willich. René's hobbies include traveling, US classic cars, and accompanying his son's American football team. René is also a founding member of the "Power of the Night" hunting troop and has a daughter named Dana (19 years old) and a son named Titus (10 years old).
Almut Schumacher, another minister, is an executive assistant in an international auditing and tax consulting firm. Her hobbies include tennis, cycling, skiing, and jogging. Almut's 17-year-old daughter, Zasha, is also a prominent figure in the community.
The trio, along with other members of the King's House, seeks to celebrate a beautiful shooting festival and royal year with friends. However, the name "Power of the Night" sparked discussions with the ASV board as it didn't adhere to previous traditions. Despite this, the troop's commitment to the ASV and the town of Willich remains unwavering.
Marcel van den Bergh, Bernt Lucke, and René Larbalette exemplify the spirit of community and commitment that defines the ASV and the town of Willich. Their dedication to their roles, their passion for shooting sports, and their love for the town make them invaluable assets to the community. As they continue to serve and lead, they inspire others to get involved and contribute to the rich tapestry of life in Willich.
Marcel van den Bergh, apart from his roles in the King's House, is also an avid sports-betting enthusiast, particularly in football, be it European football like the sports he plays in the "Power of the Night" hunting troop, or American football, a hobby he shares with René Larbalette.
René Larbalette, while running his gardening business, finds time to engage in American football, a sport shared by his son and the troop he co-founded along with Marcel van den Bergh, the "Power of the Night."
