During a meeting of HCC!kennemerland (kennemerland.hcc.nl), the members enjoyed an exclusive quiz: “Hats on, hats off.” It works simply. Each question has two answers. With one answer you have your HCC cap on your head. With the other answer you hold that HCC cap loose in your hand. And whoever remains standing alone has won. So: “HCC hats out of the closet and get to work!”
