Olympic selection for Auckland staff

Hayley Moorwood and Jenny Bindon have been hard at work promoting the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup this year but the pair are now on tour with the senior New Zealand national team preparing to compete at the Beijing Olympics 2008.

The Auckland Venue Organising Committee staff had to say goodbye to their esteemed colleagues last week as they embarked on a tour to Australia and Singapore with the Football Ferns.

Hayley, who plays centre midfield and is captain of New Zealand, has been employed as the Regional Schools Coordinator to help organise the Schools Promotion Match while Jenny, who is the starting goalkeeper, has worked as Marketing Coordinator for the Auckland region.

While Hayley and Jenny prepare for their first game in Beijing on August 8, the Auckland Venue Organising Committee continue full steam ahead towards the inaugural FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.

Up to 50 people will be out in force at clubs over the next three weekends handing out information on the NZ 'Friends and Family' Ticketing Promotion. Club members and their friends and families will be given order forms offering specially discounted prices which they will need to send in by Sunday 31 August.

Auckland staff have also been kindly provided with a mobile promotional vehicle from Tourism Auckland which will be used by the direct marketing team over the next three weekends.

We'll be giving away posters, brochures and free tickets so watch out for us at a club near you!
