Alderney Week 2008:
it’s a kind of magic!

Alderney
Week 2008 – the island’s biggest annual event – won’t be just another Alderney
Week: This year’s Alderney Week (2-10 August) marks the 60th anniversary
of Alderney Week since the end of the War and preparations for the big
celebrations are well under way.
And the
theme of Alderney Week 2008 is: PURE MAGIC, celebrating 60 magical years of family fun and
entertainment.
We
considered a number of different themes but were unanimous that “Pure Magic” is
what Alderney Week is all about. It’s a great team effort of volunteers and
helpers (and yes, we need more!) that brings the magic together and it just
gets better year on year, bringing enjoyment and smiles to everybody, island
residents and visitors alike. And that’s a magical formula which we hope to
continue for many more years to come.”
The theme
will lend itself to numerous interpretations for floats, costumes, events and,
of course, the Gala Spectacular. So come on all you wizards, magicians, fairy
godmothers and even elves, and bring the magic of song, dance and films to make
2008 the most sparkling Alderney Week ever.
More information
as well as details of the provisional programme and updates are published here
Alderney Week 2008 has a
magic logo!
This year’s
“Design-a-logo” competition for the under 18’s for Alderney Week 2008
resulted in over 50 excellent entries. The winner is 13-year old John Adamson
with a truly magic logo.

Every
year costs are rising and, as a non-profit making organisation, Alderney Week
simply could not survive or continue without our much valued sponsors. This year,
we’ve set up four different sponsorship packages to suit your budget and to
help you meet your corporate marketing objectives for more information, click here
Alderney Week appeals for new team mates
Our
current Treasurer Neil Harvey will be somewhat reducing his involvement this
year to spend more time at sea, so we’re looking for an Assistant Treasurer to
take on some of Neil’s duties.
And,
after 3 years Zoë Sowden has left the Alderney Week Team to dedicate her spare
time to her little daughter Megan. Zoë will be seriously missed and we are
urgently looking for a young Alderney lady who will provide the essential
and vital local connection, particularly with the young generation.
But we can assure whoever will join the team, will have our full support and
will have a good time planning, organising and running Alderney Week with
Lee Flewitt, Alex Birch, Ilona Soane-Sands and Team Leader Ronnie
Cairnduff.
So, if you're out there and want to get involved,
call Ronnie on 07776 257450 or e-mail me info@alderneyweek.net."
