– organisers/promoter bawl as they lose over $1MThe Promoter,Brice Butler Jersey, Mark Smith sadly muses over lost cash receipts.Chaos broke out at Bushy Park, Parika yesterday and almost the entire area was full of remorse as citizens brooded over the fact that an injunction filed by their Regional Chairman,Stitched Jerseys, Milton Dookie, halted the customary annual Emancipation Beach Party anticipated by all the villagers.As a result of the injunction, Promoter Mark Smith has lost over $1M in investment and is not taking it nicely.Yesterday,Cheap Authentic Jerseys, Smith who resides in the said area, said that for over 20 months he had applied to the NDC in that area to promote entertainment events on the beach but was always turned down even though he would provide his signed permit given to him by the Sea Defence Council.When this permit was shown to Kaieteur News it dictated that Smith, in June 2007, was given control of the beach to host entertainment activities. Smith said that the injunction was served to him on Friday some time after 16:00 hrs.The injunction dictated that the decision to grant permission for the event be quashed on the grounds that the event is unlawful,Cheap Jerseys, improper,Cheap Jerseys From China, irregular and was made without and in excess of jurisdiction.According to Smith, as a result of the Hydronie-Good Hope Neighbourhood Democratic Council turning him down, on several occasions he had ventured out of the area and had secured his permit elsewhere.The crestfallen Smith said that he had invested over $1M in advertisements, ice, beverages, music and other features and is now at loss to repay debts he now owes.One organiser sat in a car and bawled as he banged his head against the car’s dashboard. He too had invested a sizeable sum into the event and will have to try his best now to offset his expenses.At the beach, patrons turned up in droves and either burst into angry expletives or sadly shook their heads when they realised that they were robbed of their much anticipated Emancipation feature.The little children were crushed when they realised that they were not going to be allowed to enjoy their picnic baskets on the beach, splash around in the water, or simply wiggle their toes in the sand.Dookie said that he had filed the injunction since residents over time have complained of loud, raucous music being played on the beach. Besides that, he said,Indiana Pacers Jerseys, the ‘Emancipation Beach Party’ is an event that reeks of vulgarity and lawlessness.He said while there was no proper accommodation at the beach for revelers, motorcars and other vehicles would normally block the entrances to many homes during the Beach Party.To this the promoter argued that if Dookie was referring to the young ladies in their swimsuit, then injunctions should be filed against pageants and other activities at which young ladies adorn themselves in swimsuit and heels.Kaieteur News spoke with a few nearby residents and only two persons who wished to remain anonymous seemed ready to admit that they were sometimes affected by the music on the beach when entertainment events were hosted there.Smith said that no form of vulgarity or lawlessness is allowed at his events and raved that Bookie had filed the injunction because of personal grievances between the two.Yesterday many confectionary and food vendors who had come out to ‘catch a dollar’ were very angry that the event had to be cancelled. Many lamented that while all Guyana were enjoying the Emancipation jubilation, they were sadly turned away from the beach they had grown to love and adore.
