Pan Trin­ba­go pres­i­dent Bev­er­ly Ram­sey-Moore said the or­gan­i­sa­tion has learnt their lessons af­ter re­views from fans at the North Park at Sun­day's Panora­ma semi­fi­nals.

In a tele­phone in­ter­view, Ram­sey-Moore told Guardian Me­dia that they have re­ceived sev­er­al com­plaints from pa­trons which they would be tak­ing in­to con­sid­er­a­tion when plan­ning for next year's com­pe­ti­tion.

"Even though Pan Trin­ba­go had its chal­lenges ac­cept­ing the park we were pre­pared to give it a chance to work but based on the com­plaints and so on I'm sure that we all have learnt our les­son and we will try our best to ad­dress the short-com­ings of the North Park,” she said.

Asked whether these con­cerns would be ad­dressed be­fore this year's fi­nals card­ed for March 2, she said: “We can't do any­thing for the fi­nals. That would have to be for next year. At the mo­ment we're gath­er­ing the in­for­ma­tion, we've asked peo­ple to send their com­plaints to us and so on. We note their con­cerns and these mat­ters I will be rais­ing with the board when next we have a meet­ing.”

De­spite the sev­er­al com­plaints about the new arrange­ment, Na­tion­al Car­ni­val Com­mis­sion (NCC) chair­man Win­ston “Gyp­sy” Pe­ters told Guardian Me­dia that he has al­so heard sev­er­al pos­i­tive re­views of the ini­tia­tive.

“I heard a whole lot of com­pli­ments. I heard a whole lot of per­sons com­pli­ment­ing the North Park. They liked what they see, they en­joyed it, they had a good time. And then there were peo­ple who did not like it - as ex­pect­ed in life. It mat­ters not what you do in life, you're nev­er go­ing to please every­body,” Pe­ters said.

"Any­thing that you do, peo­ple would find some­thing about it be­cause peo­ple don't like to move away from their com­fort zone. Peo­ple are afraid of the un­known you know?”

The NCC chair­man, how­ev­er, said that the or­gan­i­sa­tion would do its best to en­sure every­one is com­fort­able but would do so in a way they see to be cost-ef­fec­tive.

A few months ago, be­fore the start of the Car­ni­val sea­son, Pe­ters an­nounced that they would be dis­con­tin­u­ing the icon­ic north stand in an ef­fort to re­duce the cost to the NCC.
