ALDERNEY WEEK PLUS
An action-packed weekend from 17 to 19 August incl.
Just when you thought Alderney Week 2012 was all over after the Torchlight Procession on Saturday night 11 August 2012, we’re back the following weekend of 17 to 19 August with “Alderney Week PLUS ”, an action-packed programme of events in the Alderney Week Marquee on the Butes.
This extra weekend is really a trial, but if successful, we would like it to become a regular extension to Alderney Week.
Add another week to your Alderney Week holiday next year and you’ll have an absolute ball.
Friday 17th August 7:30pm for 8.00pm – The Olympics Ball
An extraordinary sports gala night and dinner dance for up to 150 people will be Alderney Week’s main fun fundraising event of the year. Each table will represent a country and people on each table will be expected to wear the emblems of their nation during that evening of Olympic style games, with the prospect of gold, silver and bronze medals. The winning countries’ tables will be expected to learn the tune and words of their respective national anthem in time for the medals presentation when their national flags will fly high. Participants will be expected to attend in sports attire representing the colours of their country which will be confirmed as they book their tables. Tables of 10 (parties or individuals) can be pre-booked by email to info@alderneyweek.net and tickets, including dinner, will be £25.
Saturday 18 August 8:00pm: Star-Studded “Rock the Rock”
Rock and bop the night away at this fantastic Rock Concert in aid of Alderney Cancer Relief, which will be organised jointly by the Alderney Week Team and Dougal Bohan and his daughter Jennifer and is a World Premiere here in Alderney, with members of the unique 1960’s chart topping group “The Swinging Blue Jeans “ starring Alan Lovell, Peter Oakman, Geoff Bannister & Graham Hollingworth, and “The Class of ‘64” with Brian Poole & Chip Hawkes from the fab “Tremoloes”, Mick Avory, former member of the famous “Kinks” and Eric Haydock of the equally famous “Hollies” . Recognise them?
What a line-up of stars! That night there will be a seated arena with tickets at £20/head or £15 standing space only. There will be a bar and BBQ. Tickets are on a first come/ first served basis can be booked through Jennifer Bohan.

Sunday 19 August: Sunday Jazz in the Sun
Details are still being finalised but we hope to bring you jazz musicians from the other Channel Islands, the UK and possibly France.
The Jazz concert – again on the Butes - will start at 12.00 and will carry on until 5.00pm.
Why not bring your own picnic? But if you’d rather be served, we’ll provide the bar and food.
We will publish more information about each event as soon as details are finalised. So please visit this page again.
