This year, LPR will turn 80 years old!
Since we were unable to celebrate our 75-year anniversary (three-quarter century!) due to global lockdowns, we would love to bring our most fanciful fantasies to life for this next edition. On this page you can find all the ways you can contribute to make our 16th lustrum unforgettable.
Help wanted!
Contribute to the almanac
We are very curious about the favourite memories, photopraphs and stories of all Précieuskes through the generations, so please let us hear from you!
Would you rather share your stories in an interview instead of a (digital) letter? No problem!
Send an email to lusco@hofdansen.nl or use the contact form at the bottom of this page.
All submissions are welcome, but we cannot guarantee that every submission will make it into the almanac for sure.
Become a volunteer
A lot needs to be done this year and we could really use some extra hands (and wheels) for that.
Wanted:
- Weekend 16 and 17 November - volunteers to earn money by helping with the Zevenheuvelenloop
- Weekend 17 and 18 January - volunteers to earn money by helping with the Montferland half marathon
- Chauffeurs (general reserve) - short distances
- Chauffeurs (general reserve) - long distances*
- Jacks-of-all-trades (general reserve)
* For very long distances, a (limited) fee can possibly be discussed.
The “general reserves” work on a casual on-call basis. You are not obliged to take on every little task; you are simply making yourself available to be approached should we need something.

Make a donation
As much as we would like to organise everything for free, it is simply not possible. The double anniversary that we will be celebrating this year promises many fun activities, unique experiences and special party locations, but also the necessary expenses. The association has, of course, been saving up and we will be selling tickets for the big activities, but any additional funds we can get would help us out tremendously.
All proceeds from all types of donations will go entirely to the lustrum celebrations.* We can use them to organise extra festivities, give the anniversary ball just that little bit extra or give stuff away for free.
So not only would you be helping us and fellow (ex-)members out, you get to enjoy the impact yourself, too ;)
* Should there be any money left over at the end of this lustrum, then it'll be saved and put towards the 17th lustrum in 20230.
Bottle desposit sponsoring
Do you have any returnable bottles or cans lying around? Donate them to LPR and we will take them away for you. You can also return your bottles yourself and simply give the desposit receipts to us.
This sponsor programme will run until June 2026 at least.
Conditions
You can hand in deposit receipts from all supermarket chains in Nijmegen. Concerning receipts gained outside of Nijmegen, we can only accept those from the Albert Heijn, because unfortunately receipts from other chains can only be collected on in the specific stores they were issued by.
Please send/turn in receipts from the Lidl within 30 days. Receipts from other chains can be sent/turned in within 9 months.
Members can hand in bottles, cans and receipts during dance class with Daan, Emma or Eva. If you hand in bottles/cans, please bring no more than 10 at a time.
Non-members can bring/send receipts in a sealed envelope to our mailbox or drop them off at one of our activities. Our postal address is:
Klassieke Dansgroep Les Précieuses Ridicules
Heyendaalseweg 141, postvak 38
6525 AJ Nijmegen
Donate money
If you would prefer to donate money directly, that is also possible. For this you have three different options:
- Through the webshop you can pay fixed amounts (or combinations thereof) directly using iDeal. This can be as little as €5
- Through the physical donation jar that will be present at every larger LPR activity, you can donate spare bills and coins.
- Via wire transfer you can donate a specific amount yourself. In that case, please transfer your contribution to:
Klassieke Dansgroep Les Precieuses Ridicules.
NL60 INGB 0004 4550 23
marking it Lustrumdonation + [anonymous/your name] *
Awesome bonus: if you donate at least €25.- before/during the lustrum year, you will be thanked by name in the almanac! Anonymous donations are also possible, of course.
* Completely anonymous donations can only be made in cash. If you donate “anonymously” via bank transfer or the web shop, we will be able to see who paid, but we will not use or publish this information in any way.
Non-anonymous donations are tallied per name given after all events are over and these persons all get a special place in the almanac that will be published in November 2026.
King's Day market 27 April 2026
During the 2025 edition we managed to raise over €170 - what a great achievement by our lovely LusCo! Hoping for another succes, we will be back at the King's Day market in the Goffertpark in 2026.
Would you like to help us (again) this year by donating your old stuff/clothing? Then hold on to it for now: we will be collecting them again in the week or two before the event.
