In Péruwelz, Belgium, the Crocheux d’Pierwez brotherhood recently held its annual general meeting and outlined a busy season centered around local traditions and charitable work.

The group actively participated in a local flea market, creating a lively atmosphere for attendees. Members are already preparing for a year full of events, including the Péruwelz cross-country race on February 10 and the carnival on February 27.

The Crocheux also plan a king’s drawing on March 14, a brasserie-based party on May 8, and will close their season with a summer gathering on June 27. The brotherhood prioritises involving younger members, and is considering forming a parents’ committee to increase children’s participation in activities. They also intend to support Movember, a men’s health awareness campaign, by growing mustaches and promoting preventative healthcare.

The Crocheux d’Pierwez aim to maintain local traditions while strengthening community bonds through these events and initiatives.
