No free tickets, no CWC fee waiver!
FALMOUTH, Trelawny – Cricket World Cup (CWC) banners might not be hoisted between Falmouth and the Trelawny Multi-purpose Stadium, unless Trelawny Parish Council officers get complimentary tickets to the opening ceremony of the world’s third largest sports extravaganza.
The banners, meant to enhance the route, have been in the island for some time, but the organisers say they have been waiting on a fee waiver from the parish council in order to put
them up.
But Falmouth mayor, Jonathan Bartley, said yesterday that there was very little chance of that happening against the background of the local organisers’ failure to give his officers complimentary tickets.
Bartley said his officers had worked tirelessly alongside the Local Organising Committee (LOC) for the CWC, but when he called about complimentary tickets, he was told there
were none.
