Watersport Vereniging Blijdorp, Rotterdam, image after this
website, horizontal green - white - green, in white black letters AWSV
Blijdorp (can't exactly see what the first letter is - figger it's an A...
- the colors are the Rotterdam colors of course.
This flag was chosen from 25 designs: a highly original choice if I may
say so! See also Schie, Rotterdam.

Watersportvereniging Het Bommelse Gors, Den Bommel, Oostflakkee municipality,
Zuid-Holland province, after image on this
website: yellow burgee charged with Heer Bommel. Heer Olivier B. Bommel
is the main character in Maarten Toonder's "Tom Poes"- comic-series, a
big brown bear, who considers himself to be a "Heer van Stand" (lord
with standing). He was first
painted white, as on the Bommel-burgee, later on he became himself
and brown again. He experienced thousands of exciting adventures, much
to the delight of the little readers of the NRC, the Nieuwe Rommeldamsche
Courant.
Den Bommel is a sleepy old town, which was visited in 1964 by some
rowdy Leiden students, who placed a small statue of Heer Bommel in the
center of the town. In 1997 the municipal council replaced it with a bronze
statue.

The Yearbook of the "Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad" - Wie, Wat, Waar 1941
has two pages with burgees.
Zeil Vereniging "Braassemermeer", Roelofarendsveen (in Alkemade
municipality, Zuid-Holland.) - blue burgee with a white forked cross; at
the intersection a white disk charged with a blue B.
At this site
is a brief history: founded 22 Mar 1918 with the name: "Steeds Sneller"
(always faster), which was changed end 1922 to "Zeilvereniging Braassemermeer".
Now it is one of the most important yachting clubs in Holland - but it
has still the same burgee.
