Do you fancy winning a table for 10, worth an amazing £840, for the Rugby League World Cup match between Italy and Tonga at the Shay Stadium on Sunday 10 November 2013?

The table will be part of the silver package that will be hosted in the East Stand Banqueting Suite and will include a top category match ticket, a three-course pre-match dinner, private bar facility, a pre-match question and answer session with players and Rugby League legends, and a souvenir programme.

To be in with a chance of winning, simply purchase a raffle ticket for only £2. The tickets will be available to purchase at the following times / locations.

  • From Thursday 29 August until the draw date, from the Shay Stadium reception
  • Saturday 31 August from a stand at the bottom of Woolshops (by Marks and Spencer)
  • Sunday 1 September from 12pm to 3pm in the Supporters Bar at the Shay before Halifax RLFC vs Workington RLFC. You can also take your photo with the actual RLWC trophy here too.

If Halifax RLFC has a home playoff game then the draw will be made at half time. If there is no home playoff game the draw will take place on Monday 23 September.

Calderdale Council’s Cabinet Member for Communities, Cllr Steve Sweeney, said:

“Excitement is really building as the Shay Stadium gets ready to welcome the Italian and Tongan teams and fans to Calderdale.”

“This is a chance to be part of a huge sporting event, which will really put Calderdale on the map.”
