About

The Northern Sydney Wargames Club was founded at least by 1970 as the Northern Wargames Association, then by 1991 changed its name to the Northern Sydney Wargames Club. People from all over Sydney and the Central Coast come to play at the NSWC . The NSWC is supported by Essex Miniatures, Micks Military Models, The Tin Soldier, and Napoleons Military Specialist Bookshop. The club meets at the Turramurra Seniors Hall at 1 Gilroy St Turramurra. It is 3-5 minutes from the station (on city bound side of the station).
