ULRICH ALSFASSER (WEBMASTER)

Webmaster and Points Secretary

Ulrich, or Uli for short, has been keeping fish since Christmas 1981 when his parents got him his first tank. Giving up fish during his national service he started again in 1991 and shortly after joining Roter von Rio Hattingen ev.

This first brought him to England in 1992 for the 40th anniversary of CADAS. Returning in 1994 for a long weekend he ended up taking residence in England. Never being given a chance to forget his origins since Roy jokingly refers to him as "That German" trying to wind him up. So far Roy hasn’t succeeded .
