Poppy, I do the editing. Indeed I try to verify each link and information when I post, but – mistakes do happen. It would be helpful if you point out the broken links/wrong times in your comment next time so that I may fix.
Apologies for the inconvenience.

Who does the “editing”? Wrong start times, bad links –sloppy stuff here. e.g., One event: begins five hours EARLIER than listed.
At the Very least: After publishing you should click every link –Verify EACH thing, if not Before.
Now: this site can’t be trusted.
