Hi Dave. Ignore the error message, it is not reporting the problem correctly, it simply means that you have an illegal character somewhere in the XML. Looking at your code I would say it is the qevents.startDate and .endDate are they problem contain slashes which would not be allowed. Try replacing them with - signs like you have the <events> tag.
