Phase II’s ‘Village Lime’ hailed

THE EDITOR: This has very likely been Phase II Pan Groove’s last Carnival in “The Village”. Phase II now has to relocate come May 2003 in order to facilitate development of the area in and around “The Village” by a private developer.

In the self-help tradition that has always been part of the culture of the band, we sought to use the talents available to us to initiate a series of fundraising activities to assist in defraying the costs of moving and going forward, to assist in the maintenance and upgrade of the planned facilities. The first of these was “d Village Lime”. With the consent of Douglas “Dougie” Redon, “d Village Lime” was held alongside Dougie’s event on February 26, 2003, in an attempt to provide a more satisfying atmosphere in which to enjoy “de music” whilst making a contribution to the band’s building fund. We take this opportunity to thank Dougie for sharing his time with us. We also thank all those who contributed to ‘Dougie’s Day’ in traditional fashion while at the same time, making “d Village Lime” the success that it was for Phase II Pan Groove. Working together we have come up with a new medium of entertainment in the band’s interest and added another icon in the Carnival Calendar.
