Inverness Chess Congress?

Inverness could play host to a weekend Chess Congress with suggested dates being the end of October, start of November.
We have been asked to gauge the viability of staging this event by asking for feedback from anyone who might be interested in this tournament.
The venue that has been suggested would not be viable without a good number of entrants, so if you would like a Chess Congress in Inverness please pass this message on to any of your friends who might be interested in playing.
It would be appreciated if you could PM me on the clubs Facebook page or through the clubs website.
It is credit to the organiser for trying to have this Congress here so I hope his efforts are rewarded
