Glasgow and District Wargaming Society

News
Welcome!

​GDWS is the home of wargaming in Glasgow since 1969. This site tells you all about the society - what we do and when we meet. You can also browse through our extensive collection of display games that highlights the very best this fascinating hobby has to offer. 

Meeting dates
​The 2024-25 meeting schedule has now been published. We will be running a series of themed open days this coming year, so watch this space.

Non-members are welcome to come and use our tables, mats and extensive scenery collection. Ideal for those longer games as we are open from 12:30 to 17:30. The table fee is £5 per player.

Carronade 2025
The 2025 Carronade show will be held on Saturday, 3 May at the usual Graeme High School venue in Falkirk. GDWS will be there with a new participation game based on the Battle of Khotin 1769. The first significant battle of the Russo-Ottoman War 1768-74.

Dale Bilsland
Some very sad news. Dale Bilsland, one of our longest serving members and a past-Chair of the society, has passed away. He was well known across the hobby in Scotland. RIP Dale.
