The Potch Polocrosse Club is set to turn up the heat this Valentine’s Day, but it has nothing to do with wilting roses. Instead, the club is hosting a comprehensive Polocrosse Clinic on 14 and 15 February 2026, featuring veteran coach Bruce MacLarty. For those who haven't yet experienced the sport, polocrosse is essentially a mix of polo and lacrosse, requiring a fair bit of coordination and a horse that doesn't mind a racket swinging near its ears. Saturday’s Line-up: Insura

The local community is dusting off their golf spikes and hunting for lost balls in preparation for the annual NG Welfare Charity Golf Day.

Daar is ’n bekende sêding dat vetplante die enigste plante is wat selfs mense sonder "groen vingers" aan die lewe kan hou. In Potchefstroom kry hierdie geharde klein plantjies nou ’n baie groter doel as om net mooi te lyk op ’n vensterbank. Die Amelia Nasorgsentrum het ’n nuwe projek geloods waar hulle vetplante verkoop om fondse in te samel. Hierdie sentrum doen ongelooflike werk om volwassenes met intellektuele gestremdhede te versorg en te ondersteun. Vir hulle gaan dit oo

Of jy nou die bal soos ’n pro slaan en of jy meer tyd in die bunker as op die fairway spandee

Ons almal het daardie een kas of daardie hoekie in die garage wat ons liewer ignoreer. Dit is gewoonlik vol goed wat ons nie meer gebruik nie, maar wat "te goed is om weg te gooi." Die span by Amelia Nasorgsentrum het nou die perfekte plan vir daardie items met hul nuwe Witolifanttafel projek. Hulle vra die gemeenskap om ongewenste items te skenk om ’n verskil te maak in die lewens van die mense wat hulle versorg. In plaas daarvan dat jou ou broodrooster stof opgaar, kan dit
