Yes, all events are "open to the public."  However, we
don't normally  advertise the event in a newspaper
and, as you stated, there are constraints that
attendees much make an attempt to adhere to.  None of
this came through in what was published in the Trib.
The announcement reads as if people can just show up
and wander around. 

The real issue is not whether or not the event is open
to the public but that the Trib published an
incorrectly summarize event annoucement without
contacting anyone involved to get their approval.

I agree.  There should also be a strong statement
about  not reprinting in whole or part with out
contacting the  seneschale.
