H.S.R.V. Pelargos

H.S.R.V. Pelargos (Haagse Studenten Roeivereniging Pelargos) is the student rowing club of The Hague, Netherlands. It was founded on 2 May 2002 and has grown into a club of more than 221 members. The name 'Pelargos' is Greek for 'stork', which is reflected in the club's stylised stork logo flying to the right. The club's colours are dark blue, orange and grey, with grey inherited from the house style of Pallas Athene, the student society from which Pelargos emerged. The flag is a dark blue rectangle with the orange logo centred on it, and the rowing blade is dark blue with a slanted orange section at the tip. In its early years after the 2002 founding, Pelargos was housed with the rowing club De Laak on the Haagse Trekvliet. In 2009 the club moved to its own boat shed at the Laakhaven near The Hague University of Applied Sciences. Training takes place on the Delftse Vliet. Due to the club's growth, plans were developed for a new building together with De Laak on De Laak's current location; the construction of Roeicentrum De Binckhorst has been progressing, with the foundation laid in March and the building visibly rising since. The club presents itself around values of ambition, sportsmanship, inclusivity, sociability and connection. It welcomes every student, emphasises that sporting performance and fun go hand in hand, and positions itself as a close-knit, active community linking its members, the sport of rowing and the city of The Hague. Pelargos organises activities such as the autumn 'Afroei' introductory rowing period — which in one recent edition drew more than 100 registrations — and Open Weeks with a programme of rowing clinics and network drinks for students in The Hague. The club is reachable via its website pelargos.nl and maintains a presence on LinkedIn and Instagram.
