Someone probably figured they would put this in there as some sort of CYA clause.
Either speak to the organizers directly, or roll your eyes and get on with it. Interesting discussion here, but I wouldn't bad mouth them as that might discourage future events put on by them and others.
I have not read the aforementioned act of 2010, but I do know in some cases private orgs/clubs can indeed exclude or provide stipulations regarding attendance at an event. It is not the same as applying for a job or attempting to access something that must be available to the general public. There are also derogations allowed when it is for the benefit of the general public and/or a public health matter. So it could be indirect discrimination, yes, but as with a lot of things law, it depends.
