Looking for OTB tournaments to play in near me

The English Chess Federation website has the tournament schedule & club finder https://www.englishchess.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/ECF-Club-Finder.html
https://www.englishchess.org.uk/event-calendar/

This tournament is in your city if I understood well? https://chess-results.com/tnr795947.aspx?lan=1&flag=30&turdet=YES And for other tournaments in England, search there https://chess-results.com/fed.aspx?lan=1&fed=ENG and select TOURNAMENT SELECTION -> in the next 7 days / in more than 7 days starting tournaments. If in Essex - search there https://chess-results.com/TurnierSuche.aspx?lan=1 And check out, I don't know, every week. Or visit English Chess Federation - https://www.englishchess.org.uk . And remember that you always have to register.
