Your ideas to celebrate Rugby World Cup could win
How do you want to celebrate the once-in-a-lifetime event that is Rugby World Cup when it comes to Auckland in 2011?
Take part in an online survey being run by Auckland's planning team for RWC 2011 and you'll go into a draw to win a limited-edition rugby ball, which would make you a member of Auckland's Team 2011.
Team 2011 members will be eligible to win two tickets to the opening match between the All Blacks and Tonga on 9 September 2011.
You can take the survey here.
RWC 2011 will provide Auckland with opportunities beyond the matches and stadiums to enjoy events reflecting our culture, environment and diversity.
Do you want to see live screenings of matches, school programmes, artistic activities, or something different altogether? Your survey answers and comments will help organisers plan a range of great events for when the tournament comes to town.
Opportunities for RWC-related celebrations will span many communities and interest areas,
with at least 12 international teams being hosted in Auckland leading up to and during the six-week tournament.
