With Auckland Hotels advertising their rooms at approx $1500 per night, the Rotary Rugby Home Hosting, is becoming very popular. We have a unique opportunity of hosting Rotarians from all over the world for this wonderful event, showing off our beautiful country, founding new friendships, & most importantly, bringing home the cup…….
The process is simple, log on to www.rotarynzrugbyhosting.org & register as a Host or visitor. We have coordinators throughout the country that will match hosts with visitors, depending on where they will want to stay.
The programme has been designed by Rotarians for Rotarians visiting New Zealand to be hosted by local Rotarians as they follow their teams in the rugby world cup tournament in New Zealand i.e. both visitors and hosts will be part of the worldwide Rotary family. The cost is $NZ150 per night for a Rotarian or Rotarian couple, on a bed and breakfast basis with most funds being donated to The Rotary Foundation Polio Plus campaign. The home hosting programme has no tickets to any of the games and visitors will need to obtain these separately.
Being a host will be a great way for you to participate in the whole aura of the tournament . Even if you are not going to games yourself what better way to be vitally involved than extending your generosity as both a New Zealander and a Rotarian. You will extend your fellowship around the world while at the same time making a valuable contribution to the Polio Plus campaign.
There is a desperate need for home Hosts, so please start thinking about this, as just around the corner. Great work is also being done by coordinators is each district and to date District 9920 has managed to match all visitor enquiries with hosts but more hosts are needed.
