It's difficult to imagine that there will be many islanders who have not heard of Lé Viaër Marchi and, for those who have attended, it is an event to which they will often have returned year after year. Each year, this unique community event has provided a showcase for Islanders and visitors alike for the best of Guernsey’s heritage. Lé Viaër Marchi regularly features exhibitions of traditional skills and crafts, such as butter-making, lacework and rope-making, entertainment from performing artists in music, song and dance, and a range of stallholders, some in traditional Guernsey costume to add to the authentic atmosphere, selling homemade produce. Lé Viaër Marchi has become a great annual social occasion, with hearty crowds, often over 6,000, attending, even when the weather has been less than hospitable. The Lé Viaër Marchi Organising Committee's work, for over thirty years, commands the greatest of respect from the Council of the National Trust of Guernsey. The Committee functions as a well oiled machine, undertaking all of the logistical, organisational, financial, administrative and practical aspects of bringing together an event to provide those attending with a joyful meeting place and enduring memories for successive generations. The Lé Viaër Marchi Organising Committee's consistent aim, for more than thirty years, has been: to enliven and encourage the preservation of island traditions and heritage for future generations. For the first time, we have nominated our integral volunteer team, for Organising Commitee of the Year at Guernsey Community Foundation's 2016 Community Awards. National Trust of Guernsey are grateful to Guernsey Community Foundation's work in supporting Guernsey's voluntary sector. We appreciate the focus that Guernsey Community Foundation Awards brings to all local charities, organisations, groups, individuals and businesses.
