That's why Wilde is proud to announce that they're sponsoring Hugenote High School's First Team Cricket and First Team Tennis.

The Women's Show 2009 - Women Wilde at heart

The fifth edition of The Women's Show proved to be a great success, as it indulged in the fun, yet sophisticated, nature of women. The women that attended the 2009 edition of The Women's Show, were treated to informative exhibits, discussions and demonstrations, as well as eventful programmes of entertainment, including live acts, make-overs and a fashion show - the 20th to the 22nd February was an extravagant weekend!

Among the many presentations, Sindiwe Magona's auditory journey was not to be missed! Her story truly personified the Women's Show, an extravagant woman with an extravagant history - she shared her story, filled with hardship, hope and the will to overcome. This community activist had to struggle as a single mother of three, working domestic servant jobs, attaining her matric by correspondence and finally graduating with a BA degree from the University of South Africa, and later a Master of Science Degree in Organizational Social Work from Columbia University. In 1976, Magona was invited to join the International Tribunal on Crimes against Woman in Brussels.

All the ladies who attended the sitting, will agree of how inspirational it was.

Wilde Pure Pressed and Squeezed Fruit Juice displayed their natural juices at the exhibition and informed the curious patrons about the process that makes Wilde Juice so unique. It's pure pressed fruit juice that retains most of the fruit's natural nutrients, which is then conveniently packaged for a pro-longed shelf-life of up to eight months outside the cold chain. The Wilde Pure Pressed and Squeezed exhibit definitely made a mark among the women - as they realised that drinking Wilde Fruit Juice is the next best thing to eating fresh fruit.

Wilde False Bay (don't be fooled by the) Challenge

The waters that lie between Gordon's Bay and Simon's Town, is unpredictable and demands respect. Valorous men have braved these waters before, but not all of them have succeeded in the Wilde False Bay Challenge. Sure, it doesn't seem far from one harbour to the next, but when you're on open water, a distant shore is a world away.

The Wilde Team from the Gordon's Bay Yacht Club, Ettienne Laubscher and Pieter Hamersma, attempted the Wilde False Bay Challenge on 24 January 2009. The race proved a challenge, to even an experienced crew like this. After a few calculations, the decision was made to call it a day. Flat waters and unfortunate weather conditions left the crew no choice, but to return to Gordon's Bay.

On the way back, the Wilde Team encountered a whale, parked about 200 meters from Seal Island. Etienne said, "I wish all of you could've seen it. It looked like a massive, sleek dolphin."

We couldn't get a shot of the whale, but here are some photo's of the

crew,

their yacht,

and Pat Reed (as well as the yacht's cuddly companion, Bertie Bear - wearing his Wilde cap!)

For the Women by the Women

Since 2005, The Women's Show has been the only exhibition and lifestyle event in South Africa, dedicated entirely to women. The Women's Show covers from personal and family life to work, fitness, health, finance, fashion and entrepreneurship - a true celebration and tribute to the multi-faceted life of women.

The Women's Show will present over 130 exhibits, two stages showcasing 140 live events and six interactive feature areas. The 2009 edition promises to be a destination for networking, information, inspiration, entertainment and interactive experiences with South African brands.

Over the weekend of 20 - 22 February 2009 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, Wilde Pure Pressed and Squeezed Fruit Juice will be taking part in this distinctive event. The Wilde stand shall provide information about the pure pressed goodness of the juice, which is the next best thing to eating fresh fruit, as Wilde contains no additives or water. The aim is to create a brand awareness, and possibly loyalty, among woman consumers as the primary decision makers in the household.

Wilde goes to Newlands, the field of dreams

Club Newlands took the initiative to devise an admirably, simple plan: let's get the fans to meet their rugby heroes, and make a day out of it. Or in this case, a day and night...

Friday 16 January 2009, welcomed a team of loyal supporters to the Newlands grounds, for a well organised sleepover. This was to kick off the 2009 Vodacom Stormers rugby season, with the concept of networking: allowing kids and parents to meet their favourite players, mingle with fellow supporters and enjoy the luscious green field of dreams.

The activities was well delivered, with the kids being treated to a coaching session with the Vodacom Stormers, while the parents settled on simply enjoying discussions concerning the forthcoming rugby season - sharing their views and expectations. Goodie bags consisting of various items from sponsors, including Wilde Pure Pressed and Squeezed Fruit Juice, was handed to the kids for some refreshment.

The end of the day was complemented with a good old fashioned braai, which proved to be one of stellar proportions - like minded people enjoying the company of one another, a delicious Wilde Juice to drink, and the flavour of champion boerewors hanging in the air - what more could one ask for?

The numbers that came, the numbers that saw, was conquered by this phenomenal event. It's really nice to know that the good people from Club Newlands, are doing it for the fans.

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.
