Can you spot the clear and obvious error?

They neglected to include the venue for the London Day School in the Socialist Standard listing. Ouch. Millions missed out.

My guess is that if the Day School wasn't at the SPGB's Head Office in Clapham, it was held at Friends' Meeting House in Euston, Central London. That would make more sense as one of the speakers was coming down from Manchester.
