Pukekohe Association Football Club Inc. is proud to announce an upcoming milestone event celebrating the clubs 50th Anniversary. As mentioned in the excerpt above, taken from minutes of the inaugural meeting held on the 23rd February 1960, 2010 marks the 50th Anniversary of the club in its current form. A reunion celebration is planned and will be held over Labour Weekend with activities being held on Friday evening 22nd October, Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th October 2010.
With our base firmly fixed at Bledisloe Park, Pukekohe we currently boast a total membership of approx 930. Over the last few years the club has experienced tremendous membership growth that currently is reflected in the fact we use 26 fields and have over 80 teams playing every weekend.
We are now taking registrations from any past and present members that are interested in attending part or all activities set out over the weekend. A possible format for the weekend would be: Mix and mingle on the Friday night, demonstration games highlighting midgets, junior, youth and both senior women and mens football on Saturday. Match of the day between past and present players. A formal dinner to complete the Saturday celebrations. Sunday morning brunch, get together and farewell. The activities will be confirmed with the full programme posted on this websites by the 28th May 2010.
We look forward to your contact and reply.
Thank you
Kind regards
Peter Wild
