Welcome to Penarth & District Wargames Society Wales largest and possibly best wargames club you will ever be a privileged to be a member of.
Since its inception in 1976, the club has gone from strength to strength in its goal of promoting wargaming to the masses has seen an increase in influx of membership due to the success of the club's own wargames show, the highly successful CRUSADE, based at The Leisure Centre, Andrews Road in Penarth.
The club itself meets twice weekly, every Tuesday at the Glyndwr Hall, Glyndwr Road in Penarth from 7:15pm and every Thursday at the Village Hall, Taffs Well from 6:30pm. In addition, we hold a Saturday game once a month at both venues, from 9:30am at Glyndwr hall and from 10am at Taffs Well (see the Events Tab for dates).
The Club members play a wide variety of periods and game
types including Ancients, Medieval, Renaissance, Napoleonic Wars, American
Civil War, World War 1, World War 2, Modern and Ultra Modern, thought to
Fantasy and Sci-fi using figures from 2mm to 25mm.
Our regular Weeknight sessions also host a mix of board games, various
role-play systems and CCG's.
If you would like to introduce a game to the club, feel
free- we always enjoy playing new games.
If you would like to join a game just
ask - we can fit just about anyone into the scenario.
Every year we attend at least one show to put on a game we
have devised. We regularly attend Both Colours and Battle Group South @ Bovington.
At Colours we have won Best Participation
game three times. At Battle Group South's show in Bovington Tank Museum the club
won Best Participation Game in 2007 and 2009, and Best Painted Army in
2007.
So if you have an idea for a game, we will help you play
test it.
You never know, it may end up as the showpiece game of the
Penarth and District Wargamers!
