Dear
Alderney Week Supporter,
Alderney Week is totally self-funding and as such depends totally on sponsorships, donations and volunteers to make the island’s biggest annual event happen every year. To put it into perspective, the island’s 2,400-strong population virtually doubles during Alderney Week, so its importance and contribution to the Alderney’s economy and tourism is immense. It’s not just the hospitality sector that benefits from Alderney Week. Every shop and business on the island gains from Alderney Week, financially or in terms of awareness and exposure.
This is what makes Alderney Week a unique sponsorship opportunity to raise your profile and to demonstrate your commitment to the island’s community and to a captive audience of residents and visitors.
As an Alderney Week sponsor your name (if you wish) will appear in our full colour programme as well as this website which runs for a year. There is also the opportunity for corporate sponsorship with company branding of a particular event. Click here for more information
We are most grateful to the following companies and individuals for their Alderney Week 2009 sponsorship and advertising support. Without these sponsors, at a time when everybody is feeling the effects of the credit crunch and recession, we simply could not have pulled it off.

... and last, but not least, all the many volunteers without whose enthusiastic help and support, Alderney Week simply wouldn’t happen
Year after year, Alderney Week and the Alderney Week Team rely heavily on a small army of enthusiastic volunteers who run the stalls on Cavalcade Day, and throughout the week sell raffle tickets, T-shirts and other merchandising goods, helping to organise and run the many events, and Zoë Sowden and her cheerful Bavaria Beer Team and the 41 Club making sure nobody went thirsty. And because this year there was a shortage of volunteers, they all had to work even harder.
A big thank-you from the Alderney Week Team to all these wonderful people out there and congratulations to the Alderney Week Tech guys for doing such a brilliant job this year, delivering and setting up all the props, chairs, tables, equipment, sound and lighting and making it all work.
A big round of applause for Miss Alderney and her Maids of Honour, the Alderney Blowers and all visiting musicians, actors, thespians and entertainers who pulled off the various shows. Angela Stanley and her delightful KFA dancing girls and FireMagic with help from Mark Maurice for treating everybody to the most spectacular fireworks finale.
A show of hands for the young budding artists of St. Anne’s School who created “Cookie”, the amazing Chinese Dragon, to John Diebel who designed the stunning stage scene, and the Island’s Churches for the use of their premises and equipment.
We are most grateful to all of the island’s Emergency Services and the Alderney Divers for being there to prevent any accidents, and to Public Works, the Alderney Wildlife Trust and the 30 Signals Regiment for their hands-on support.
And last but not least, we would like to thank the Cavalcade Float builders for their stunning creations and the people and friends of Alderney for making this such a memorably Alderney Week.
The Alderney Week Team
