Hats Off to St Philip Carnival Committee
Congratulations are in order of the organizers of the recently concluded successful St Philip carnival! If I wore a hat I would take it off to them but I don’t.
The successful and efficient organizing of this event by the St Philip Committee s not an activity that should go unnoticed by the powers that be.
Often the question is asked when will the staging of Crop Over be able to be placed into the hands of the private sector.
Government needs to take its place as a facilitator empowering the entrepreneur to thrive and reach their full potential.
What entities in the private sector have the capability to efficiently coordinate the multiplicity of mammoth tasks and events which constitute our national festival?
The St Philip Carnival Committee is an example of the answer to the question.
Chances are if you can organize a carnival parade successfully in St Philip you should be able to do the same only on a bigger scale in St Michael where Kadooment takes place.
Efforts should made by Government to nurture and groom this St Philip committee who are obviously pregnant with potential to be a major event coordinator player in our Crop Over.
congrats to the St Philip Group on not depending on the government but getting up off their asses and not only staging their own event but doing it successfully!

The St. Philip Carnival Committee is not as organised as you make them out to be. You should have been at the meetings leading up to the Carnival.
It should be however noted that they did manage to pull off the Carnival even though they lacked organisation and sponsorship.
I hope to see better things from them next year
