Dear
Alderney Week Supporter,
Alderney Week is completely 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.
This year turned out to be a fabulous Alderney Week – in fact described by many residents, visitors and the media as one of the best ever Alderney Weeks - and we could not have pulled it off without the support of our sponsors.
We would like to say a big Thank You to this year’s principal sponsors for their significant financial contribution (in alphabetic order):

A very, very big Thank You from The Alderney Week Team
Last, but not least, a very, very big thank you to all our volunteers who helped to make over 100 events happen and without whose help we just couldn’t have pulled it off: the Alderney Week Tech Crew: Pete, Yemi, James, Tom & Emily, the 30 Signals, Helen Matthews, Jake Woodnutt, Lesley Cairnduff, Paddy Campbell, Alan Jones, Mike Gaunt and St. Anne’s School, the 41 Club, Krys Page and her happy Bavaria Beer Bar crew, Public Works, the Island’s Churches, the Police and Emergency Services, the local Divers, Belinda Powrie, Ellis Downes, Dot Carre and the many island residents, families and visitors —too many to list here— who helped to organise and run the different events.
And a big cheers to Miss Alderney 2011 Bonnie Flewitt who proved a wonderful ambassadress for the island, and the many stars - in particular the Alderney Blowers, Angela and Laura and their fab KFA girls , the Rain or Shine Theatre Company and the Alderney Theatre Group who all provided such wonderful entertainment for everybody.
The countdown to Alderney Week 2012 has started. By the end of this year we will be announcing the theme for next year’s Alderney Week. The Alderney Week Team will make sure 2012 is another record success and we hope we may again count on the support of our much valued sponsors.
