An organised event is considered public if it is:

a) accessible to people not personally invited by the organiser; or

b) accessible for a fee or held in pursuit of some other economic gain, regardless of the purpose.

An organised event will likewise be considered public if it is held by an association for its members, with the members recruited for the sole purpose of participating in the event, possibly in connection with the payment of a contribution.
