I agree that it is a pity. I would have much preferred the event to be open invitation, and supported with publicity by Go North East, like the other similar events which have taken place around the country this week.
I only found about the event myself half an hour before the bus was due to depart Stanley Depot this morning. I am led to believe it was all very last minute, hence why there wasn't many people which knew about it.
