5th Crewe Chess Congress
Friday 14th October - Sunday 16th October

That's a very popular weekend.

Not only Hull, but also Bury St Edmunds and the new Cornwall Congress in Penzance. Not to mention the start of Guernsey.

Popular because it's half term but the tournaments mentioned are all sufficiently distanced from each other so in theory plenty of potential customers for all of them.

I think half term is the last week in October in England. In Scotland I think those congresses fall over half term.
Also the weekend of the 15th/16th October is the return of the Dundee Congress.
A few years ago Bury St.Edmunds was the same weekend as Scarborough.

There may also be a South Wales congress that weekend.
