Schutterij St. Martinus - Vaesrade

Our thoughts naturally go out to those who founded our association and to those who have given their best efforts to make their association something that the Vaesrade community can be proud of.

The rifle-carrying militia of St. Martinus from the church village of Vaesrade emerged from a very old archery called Claudius Civilis.

On October 1, 1897, the rifle-carrying militia was founded by Messrs. M. Smeets, M. America and J.M. America. Given the first name of two of the founders, namely Martien, the militia was called St. Martinus.
