Golf Day:
NWU Pukke will host an alumni Golf Day on the 13 February 2012 at Potchefstroom Buite Klub. The visiting team will have up to 16 of their own alumni joining in the day, which will be a "better ball match play" competition. The rest of the field will be our own alumni and we expect up to 100 players - you are invited to participate and enjoy a great rugby day.
Pre-match drinks:
All NWU Pukke Alumni are invited to join us for pre-match drinks, two hours ahead of each home game at the Puk Sports Village. For more information please contact Jan Weidemann at 082 332 6038.
