Comment by Anna Blackburn yesterday

So I duly went to Alexandra Park School in compliance with the above comment to 'make sure you come to Ally Park School via Rhodes Avenue' and when I got there at 7.50pm, the hall was full of schoolchildren doing their own performance. Nobody I asked knew anything about the BP choir so the information about where the performance was to be held this evening is completely incorrect. Actually I had told a friend it would be at Bounds Green School so I must have seen that somewhere on the Internet but on checking the location, I found this completely different one so I actually emailed her to tell her it wasn't at BG school after all. Fortunately she didn't come tonight, otherwise she would have been walking round with me in the heat, getting the bus back and arriving at the correct location of BG School one song before the interval. I also emailed the concert details with the Ally Park School location to some other people and I only hope they didn't make a wasted journey. It was no fun walking around in this heat and BG School is much nearer where I live. I have been to both venues for BP choir concerts before so I knew where else to try when it was evident I'd followed incorrect information. Anyone who had not been before would have been stuck and would have just had to go home again. As it was, I missed half the concert. There were two different locations given on the Internet for the concert tonight but the one on here is the wrong one. 
The location of a concert is pretty basic stuff. Please check before you give us the wrong information next time.

Hello Anna.  I am so sorry that you had a wasted journey in very hot weather to Alexandra Park School last night - but happy that you made the second half of our concert and hope you took advantage of the complimentary cold drinks.  I hold my hand up that this was my fault.  By way of explanation, APS cancelled our long-held booking at very short notice (just 2 weeks ago) in favour of a school play which they must have known about beforehand.  As you can imagine, our committee had to secure a new venue and change a lot of arrangements in a short space of time.  We are very lucky that the staff at Bounds Green School are so helpful and accommodating.  In all the chaos, while I remembered to change the venue and time details on Facebook and Alexandra Park Neighbours News - as I get weekly emails from them - I completely forgot that I'd posted the event here.  As a rule we get very little feedback from Bowes and Bounds.  Hopefully, we won't find the choir in this situation again - but your comments are noted and I will ensure that whoever takes on the task of advertising  our concerts in future is more on the ball than me!  Again, many apologies and I hope you will want to come along to our December concert.  Julie
