[From a TOEIC test]
We're happy to see you all at this seminar this afternoon - we have a lot of useful information to cover. But before we start, a few a dministrative details. There will be one break, half way through theafternoon. You can leave your laptops here if you leave the room - there will always be someone in here- but do keep your money and phones or ... ah ... other small electronic devices with you. Don't leave them at the tables. And please note that there's an error in your printed program: there will be a change - a switch - in times for the last two presenters. Ms. Ohta has to leave a little early today.

Don't leave them at the tables [speaking to all the people, so all the tables].
And please note that there's an error in your printed program [singular, still speaking to all the people, but in a way as if to speak to one person]:
