True sailors attempt the Wilde False Bay Challenge

Two members of the Gordon's Bay Yacht Club, Ettienne Laubscher from Paarl, and Pieter Hamersma from Stellenbosch, are planning to sail in the Wilde False Bay Challenge. The team will be using the same petite 5.8 m yacht that the late, Bertie Reed, used five years ago in the inauguration of this challenge. They will sail from Gordon's Bay across False Bay to Simon's Town and back. The idea for this challenge came about when Bertie Reed felt the need to enhance small boat competition amongst sailors. The team is hoping to better the time of 10 hours and 36 minutes.

The team mascot, a teddy bear named Bertie Bear, will be joining Laubscher and Hamersma onboard. The bear was named by Bertie Reed's widow, Pat. She gave the bear one look, and named him immediately. She also revealed that Bertie used to have his own cuddly companion onboard, a teddy named Gonga.

Wilde goes bird watching in the green

The Pacmar Golf Day was held on Friday, 7 November 2008! The sun sported the perfect weather for a day on the golf course in Wellington. The fun waterholes provided hydration for the 21 teams that took part in this event. Among these, Pacmar entered three teams. The day was well supported by all the teams, and a whopping R 100 000 was accumulated for the charity fund raiser. Pacmar thanks all the participants and sponsors for making this day such an enjoyable experience.

Witness the speed, skill and fitness

Wilde Pure Pressed and Squeezed Fruit Juice sponsored refreshment at the Inter-Provincial Sevens Tournament, that took place over the first weekend of November 2008. Rugby Sevens is an alternative to the traditional fifteen a side rugby union, and games last up to a total of 15 minutes, allowing for a one minute break at halftime. The game is focused on speed, skill and fitness, so much so, that the field size remains the same as the game's traditional counterpart. Wilde had a gazebo on the side line, where they could keep track of the events that took place on the field. It was positive exposure for Wilde, as players and spectators alike found the pure pressed goodness of Wilde very soothing.

It's the way our packs like to say, "Elo."

Wilde Pure Pressed and Squeezed Fruit Juice is featured again, this time in the November 2008 edition of Milk & Juice Magazine. But this time around, they wrote an advertorial on Elopak's unique and innovative packaging solutions. The Wilde Fruit Juice 1 litre Elopak was given as a prime example of their good work. And a job well done, indeed, Elopak.

The good folk at Milk & Juice were even so kind as to put the Elopak/Wilde Fruit Juice ad on the inside front cover of the magazine.
