And below is a report by ITV Channel Television’s Alderney reporter and cameraman Nigel Soane-Sands:

 

Alderney Week Day Two

 

In keeping with the “Hollywood” theme, Day Two of Alderney Week saw a pedestrianised Victoria Street transformed into a bustling Street Market named  Desire.

 

Many shops dressed for the occasion and dozens of stalls lined the street selling everything from home-made toffee apples and popcorn to bric-a-brac, Alderney Week merchandising and spicy nibbles.

 

Promising starlets from the KFA kicked off the entertainment with some great new routines, and the Alderney Island Band maintained the tempo with some finger-clicking numbers under their conductor Sue Cooper who’d like to recruit a dot-reading saxophonist or two.

 

Always a crowd puller, the Miss Holiday Princess competition, in the adjacent Memorial Gardens, attracted some two dozen contestants aged from 4 to 11 years old and from as far afield as Canada and America. The crown, trophy and an Oscar went to 6-year old Rowan Foster, from High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, who’ll now help to lead the Cavalcade Day parade.

 

The evening’s highlight was a Channel Islands first with a sing-along drive-in movie on the Butes. Acknowledging the folly of drink-driving, highly personalised Chevrolets, Pontiacs, Cadillacs and stretch limos – minus ignition keys – were laid on by the considerate management with absolutely no expense spared. Comical local ads were the prelude to sing-along “Grease” and a very good time was had by all 400 plus drive-in movie goers.
