Not knowing all the facts, that is quite a different scenario, hosting those 2 events in the same City on the same day.
At least one, maybe two members at my club are at Scarborough Congress. Another one is in Denmark. Others are away for the October school holiday week. Clashes are just something that is going to happen on a "crowded" (as often referred to on here), local, Scottish, UK, European chess calendar. I think organisers should be sensitive, and aware - but not feel the need to be to PC about scheduling.
Any hoo... turns out I will be playing on Saturday now with my 2nd club and looking forward to it. No idea of entrants but you can email the organiser at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:director@2020chess.com">director@2020chess.com</a><!-- e --> if you want to.
