Humberside Wargames Society

HWS, 2nd/3rd Floor, 45-47 Savile Court, Savile Street, Hull, HU1 3EE. England.

The Humberside Wargames Society has been in existence in various forms since the early 1970's. The Society's members are mostly interested in historical miniatures games, though many other games are also played. For some years the Society has had its own secure premises in the centre of Hull, which are available for members' use at any time of any day of the year. The Society exists to provide a place for wargamers, role-players, card players and board gamers of all types to meet other gamers play their games. The aim is to welcome and encourage all, no matter what their hobby interests are.

The majority of members use the club on Saturdays, though various groups of gamers use the club at others times. Tables are available on a first come first served basis. Role-players tend to go in on Mondays and Wednesday evenings at the moment while card players often meet on Thursday evenings. Historical miniatures games usually take place on Saturday afternoons but also happen on mid-week evenings.

New members are always very welcome. The club premises are reached via Savile Court, the yard off Savile Street, opposite the Golden Fry fish and chip shop. Follow the left hand side of the yard as far as the last door on the left. Non key holders need to ring the bell marked Humberside Wargames Society, whereupon someone will nimbly leap downstairs and let you in.
