Welcome! GDWS has been the home of wargaming in Glasgow since 1969. This site provides information about our society, including what we do and when we meet. You can also browse our extensive collection of display games, which highlight the very best this fascinating hobby has to offer. Meeting dates The 2025/26 meeting schedule has now been published. There will be a Star Wars Legion Tournament on 14 November, and the May 2026 Open Day will be on 31 May 2026. Non-members are welcome to 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. Mad About Models
The 'Mad About Models' Super Sunday open day will be held at Bridgeton Bus Garage with the GVVT vehicle collection and added attractions. Free vintage bus rides and a free shuttle service to the City Centre operate on Super Sundays. GDWS will be there with a stall, including a 'Pillage' participation game. 
Dave Soutar
Sad news that our former Chair, Dave Soutar, has passed away. Dave stepped down as Chair at the last AGM due to his health, and he had been seriously ill for some time. Dave was deeply involved in our hobby, having worked in it, collected, and played for many years. Our thoughts and condolences are with Kathleen and the family. 
Carronade 2026
The show will be held at a new venue, Falkirk High School, Westburn Ave, Falkirk, FK1 5BZ, on Saturday 6 June 2026. The GDWS participation game will be the Battle of Banja Luka 1737, the key battle in the Bosnian campaign during the Austro-Ottoman war of 1737-39.
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.
