Compiling a programme is a hard and thankless task. Most section leaders provide nothing in the way of information other than a list. Turning this into something readable is very difficult, more so when the subject matter is not your chosen field so to speak.
However, small mistakes aside (we all make them) a programme is for many a souvenir of your day out. Whilst the event may well be fantastic, the programme is the lasting legacy. A lot of enthusiasts know the mistakes and prob take them with a pinch of salt, but the general public take what is written as factual information.
Organisers should not then be printing information that is utter poppycock, and whats more lamentable is they should not be making money on the back of it!
The Pirate is perfectly right in flagging this up. More shows should take note.
Whilst the show is a fantastic event, the programme should reflect this, not be full of utter bollocks.
