As you'll see from the message below, Royal Mail have made a very damaging mistake in administering my PO Box. Their conditions of service exclude any compensation for loss of business, so I am reliant upon the goodwill of as many people as possible to pass on this information to any relevant internet chat groups or personal contacts.


HANDS ON MUSIC BOOKINGS - A Message from Dave Townsend

If you recently sent a booking or enquiry to Hands On Music Weekends, PO Box 1162, East Oxford D. O., OX4 4WS, U. K., your letter may have been returned marked "gone away". Nothing could be further from the truth. Royal Mail payments failed to inform the PO Box office that the annual fee had been paid, and so they closed the Box. I have only just found out, and it has been reinstated, but some bookings will undoubtedly have been returned. The return process can take a week or two, so you may not even know yet. If you have booked for a Hands On Music weekend and have heard nothing, please email me ([e-mail]) and send it again. If your booking has been returned, please send it in again - the PO Box is now functioning.

Apart from the inconvenience, I am concerned about the message implied by people receiving returned mail marked "gone away". Royal Mail's conditions of service exclude any compensation for loss of business, so I am reliant upon the goodwill of as many people as possible to pass on this information to any relevant chat groups or personal contacts. Please tell as many people as you can that Hands On Music Weekends are up and running, that it is business as usual, and that information can be found on the website www.handsonmusic.org.uk.


Many thanks

All the best

Dave
