The "Cheeky Charming Chappies" supporting the Clatterbridge Cancer Campaign.

Winners of the very first Chester Festival, seen here with dragon boat instructor and festival organiser,

The charities featured on this website are either from current or previous years.  Simply place your mouse over 'Charities >>' in the menu above and a list of the supported charities will appear.

For every charity that has entered (or has a team entering to support them) in this year's festival, will produce a webpage for you on this website, giving information about who you are, what you do and also a link to your website. We will also continue to feature charities supported from the previous year too. From each charity's page, we will make available a downloadable entry pack into the festival.

You will notice on the main menu, when you roll your mouse over 'Charities' a list of supported charities comes up?

The charitiy's ranking on the list will be determined by three factors:

  1. The number of teams a charity has registering in this year's event,

  2. The date of team registration, with the earlier teams going first,

  3. (In the event of a tie, the number of teams the charity had registering at last year's event),

The main ranking factor will be the number of teams a charity has entering to support it,

so the more teams you have entering to support you, the higher up the list you go!

Deadline for all entries is Friday 6th June 2008.
