Depends on what you're using as the source really. The mailing list
has threads going back until the 6th of September discussing and
organising the event and the event details were finalised and posted
to the loco.u.c page on the 20th of September which was also posted to
the mailing list and various social media.

I think the issue is the timeliness of the Facebook event, which is
where we simply forgot about until someone remembered at the 11th
hour. We are already looking at ways of importing ical feeds to the
facebook group to streamline this process though so fingers crossed
the issue doesn't arise again in the future. The downside of having so
much web presence is trying to keep them all up to date.
