90 Exemption for organisers of dances etc. (1) A person does not act as an introduction agent merely by organising a social activity with the intention of enabling persons to meet if— (a) the activity is publicly advertised and is open to any member of the public who is willing to pay the admission cost set for the activity; and (b) the admission cost is the only cost a person attending the activity is liable to pay the organiser of the activity; and (c) no person attending the activity is placed under any obligation to the organiser of the activity by reason of being allowed to attend the activity, other than an obligation concerning the person's conduct at the activity itself. (2) The condition specified by subsection (1)(a) is met even if a member of the public is refused admission to the activity, if the refusal is based on a failure by that person to obtain admission to the activity before a limit on the number of persons who could attend the activity was reached. (3) The condition specified by subsection (1)(b) is met even if food or drink is sold by the organiser in relation to the activity. (4) A reference in this section to the organiser of an activity includes a reference to any agent or person associated with the organiser.
