Event Sponsorship Opportunities - Alderney Week 2010
“History Makers”
This year, many are feeling the credit crunch and, with some of the island’s businesses struggling, fundraising for Alderney Week 2010 will be more difficult. But in true island spirit, the Alderney Week team is determined to brighten up everybody’s life for at least one week this year, with plenty of fun time and entertainment for everybody who is on the island or visiting Alderney between 31st July and 8th August.
After all, Alderney Week is still the island’s – and indeed the Channel Islands’ - largest annual community and tourism event. Depending on the level of sponsorship support, we hope we will not have to cut down the programme this year and we very much hope that we may again count on your support this year. With your help, Alderney Week should be another roaring and memorable success.
We are again offering 4 categories of sponsorship: Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze reflecting the different levels of financial contribution. Some of last year’s sponsors may wish to continue sponsoring the same event again (marked with *) and we are currently awaiting their confirmation.
To find out more about each event listed below, please check the “Programme for 2010” page on this website for the latest updates or call Ilona on 01481 824321 or 07781 101 957 (e-mail: info@alderneyweek.net) .
However, we are also hoping for prizes and donations towards events and of course the big Alderney Week Prize Draw and your advertising support in our full colour Alderney Week programme (same rates as for the past five years) would be much appreciated.

Sponsorship Publicity Support
Unless you wish to remain anonymous, sponsors of all four sponsorship categories will automatically be listed in the official Alderney Week programme, on the official Alderney Week website www.alderneyweek.net “Sponsors” page and on our website picture gallery which features all events (where applicable, we will set up a hyperlink to their own website). All contributions, however small, are most appreciated and will be acknowledged. You name will also appear in our subsequent sponsorship thank-you adverts placed in the Alderney Journal and the Alderney Press.
To this day, Alderney Week remains the Channel Island’s biggest community and tourism event which always attracts excellent media coverage from the local and regional media, including ITV Channel Television, BBC Spotlight, BBC Radio Guernsey, Island FM, Quay FM, Guernsey Press, the Alderney Journal and the Alderney Press. You will also receive a CD containing photographs of your sponsored events to use for your own publicity and you are entitled to use this year’s Alderney Week logo (which we will release in April).
Furthermore, all Platinum Sponsors and Golden Sponsors will also be provided free of charge with a generic 6’x20” event sponsorship banner featuring their company name and logo which will be displayed at the location of their sponsored event (these banners can be produced for Silver and Bronze Sponsors at the cost price of £35).
Plus: Platinum Sponsors are entitled to a free full page advert, and Golden sponsors to a ½ page free advert in the printed Alderney Week Programme.
We are hoping to introduce several new events which are currently under negotiation, but will advise you as soon as anything is finalised. More details of the above events are published on the “Programme 2010” page of this website.
