- Iwona and Antoni Kujawowie, partners of the Kujawy-Pomerania volleyball invited the ladies to the restaurant “Maestra” in Opera Nova. The meeting was an opportunity for our wives to meet with each other and familiarize them with necessity of spending a lot of hours on Board meetings. The  long meeting ended up with the wish to organize another one - said Ryszard Ciężki. Unfortunately, Joanna Kuligowska could not be present at the meeting.
