Ip Newsflash!!!!

just got this email from them



Dear Island People Mas Family,

We have recently learned that people are unofficially and illegally collecting money on behalf of Island People Mas. Please do not give your money to or register with anyone who is not listed on our website as an official person handling registration.

The only person you should wire money to is Melanie Williams of Island People Mas. Anyone else who is collecting money is NOT affiliated with Island People Mas. There is no person handling registration outside of Trinidad. The two ways to register are 1. Online (accompanied by a wire transfer to Melanie Williams of Island People Mas) and 2. at the Mas Camp in Trinidad.

All official emails should come from info@islandpeoplemas.com

Thank you,

Island People Mas

PS: thanks for your immediate and overwhelming interest and support in The Sahara for Carnival 2007!!!!

Well after receiving that email I sent them a reply asking them IF PoisonUK were taking registrations for them (as they did last year) and this was their response


Hi!

As is stated in our email below, we strongly advise masqueraders not
to sign up with anyone who claims to be working on behalf of Island
People Mas. Island People Mas has no affiliations with any
organizations overseas to sign up masqueraders.

Thank you,

Island People Mas

I just called PUK and they said they're DEFO'S registering for IP, but they're still liasing with IP to decide which costumes to do, so it's a lot of 'he says, she says' going on!
EVERYONE BE VERY AWARE!


*PUK also said IP may not be doing online registration*
