"Beach Fest" festival in conjunction with Quiksilver Boardriders surfing comp.
April 27th - 10am

On Saturday 27th April 2002 starting at 10am there will be a beach festival on Bournemouth Beach near the Pier, to raise awareness and funds for Surfers Against Sewage. The festival is to complement the Quiksilver Boardriders Club Surfing Competition, and will offer beach users and spectators something extra!

There will be two large marquees on the beach with stalls from local businesses such as Stem Cell Creations, D.T.Arts, Hocus Pocus, Culpeppers, Uniting Rhythms, Maddie- Reiki Teacher and The Tanning Shop.

There will also be a selection of DJ's from Bournemouth and Brighton and a local band called CON23 playing 'funk rock' live. The music will be from 12pm through to 6pm. There will also be street entertainers such as fire-eaters and jugglers entertaining the crowds to create a chilled, relaxed family festival atmosphere. All this entertainment is free of charge.

The Fire Radio Station will be there, interviewing spectators and surfers on how the competition is going and how they're enjoying their day.

Surfers Against Sewage focus on the 300 million gallons of raw or partially treated sewage discharged around the UK coastline each day and the two million tonnes of toxic waste dumped into the sea every year. The proceeds of the day go to Surfers Against Sewage.

Two students of the Arts Institute at Bournemouth on the Arts & Event Production course, Sacha Billett and Theresa McInerney are the organisers behind the festival. They have had continual support from the staff at Just Add Water who are organising the Surfing Competition for Quiksilver Boardriders Club and the After Party, which takes place at the end of the Pier from 8 o'clock onwards.
