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 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."
