Penarth & District

Wargames Society

CROESO AND WELCOME

 

 

Welcome to the Penarth & District Wargames Society, Wales largest and possibly the best wargames club you will ever be privileged to be a member of. Since it's inception in 1976, the club has gone from strength to strength in it's goal of promoting wargaming to the masses and 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 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 calendar 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, through to Fantasy and Sci-fi using figures from 2mm to 25mm, board games, various role-play systems and Collectable Card Games. 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 in with 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 Colours (now held at Newbury Race Course), where we have won the Best Participation Game three times and also Battlegroup South at Bovington Tank Museum, where we won Best Participation Game 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!
