The Old Edwardian Wargames Club is the
legal successor to the Johannesburg Wargames Club. Geoff Bowers and Colin
Webster founded the Johannesburg Wargames Club in 1982. In 1989 the
Johannesburg Wargames Club moved to the Old Edwardian Society at 11 Ninth Avenue,
Lower Houghton. The club meets every Sunday afternoon
from 14H00 to 18H00 unless: 1. The meeting is on Christmas day, or 2. There is a national or provincial championship being played, we'll be there instead. |
