Organization
Theo van der Westerlaken
Since 1971 the competition was organized by Theo van der Westerlaken (1949 – 14 July 2020), the son of the founder of Acht van Chaam. For his works he was awarded by the Royal Dutch Cycling Union with the "Gouden Wiel" (translated: Golden Wheel) in July 2020.[5] A week later van der Westerlaken died on 14 July due to an illness, aged 71. A plaque on the cycling monument opposite his house in the center of Chaam will be placed by the board of Acht van Chaam.[6]
