Marvellous ’09, the family festival
Marvellous ’09, the family festival featuring the UK’s leading tribute bands, proved to be a resounding success for the Berkshire-based charity, Alexander Devine Children’s Cancer Trust (ADCCT).
The event was held at Wellington Country Park on Friday, 24th July and Saturday, 25th July and festival goers partied in the sunshine, enjoying groups including ‘Fabba’, ‘Retake That’, the Queen Tribute band, the Motown Show and T-Rexstasy. For the first time in the festival’s history, the Saturday event sold out completely as Berkshire families flocked to enjoy the music and children’s activities in the beautiful surroundings of the park.
The ADCCT fundraising activity pulled together volunteers from all over the county – the fantastic Wokingham Lions group manned the car parks and organised collections amongst the crowd with volunteers from Maidenhead and Windsor running a pocket money toys stall. Local self storage company, ready steady store, based on Molly Millars Lane in Wokingham teamed up with ADCCT and ran the very popular ‘Hook a Duck’ game. Children paid 50p to hook a prize and the successful game raised an incredible £264 for ADCCT.
