GRENADA CARNIVAL COMMITTEE APOLOGY

St. George's, August 8, 2009 -- The Grenada Carnival Committee (GCC) wishes to tender its sincere apologies to all our patrons who attempted to access our live pay per view webcast for the GCC-LIME Soca Monarch Final last night (Friday).

The GCC has been committed to finding innovative ways of engaging culture lovers worldwide, as well as, lifting the profiles of our stakeholders, who contribute significantly to the spectacle of Spicemas.

Unfortunately, the Pay Per View Company contracted to handle the transactions had technical problems with their system and was unable to forward the user name and passwords to subscribers, after they had paid in order to access the live feed. Although this was resolved later in the broadcast, our promise to the thousands of carnival lovers around the globe was not kept.

We have demanded a FULL refund to everyone who bought packages, and this is being processed immediately.

The Company has tested its system today and all systems are go for the Panorama Championships tonight (Saturday) and Dimanche Gras tomorrow (Sunday). We are very hopeful that persons within the Diaspora and beyond will again embrace the opportunity to be a part of Spicemas 2K9.  Rest assured that your rights will be stoutly protected by the GCC.
