The Durban War Games Club (DWGC) as it is now known has been around for many years under several different names. From the, 'Durban Miniature Wargames club' to 'Durban Area Wargamers' and 'Westville Historical Military Modelling Society' (WHAMM) which regularly met at the Westville Library in Durban.
Each club name representing the same hobby club, initiated by different gentlemen who have played their part in the clubs history and have been instrumental in it's history, these the revered "veteran" gamers who still roll their dice in defiance of the odds today.
When the club was officially constituted is lost in the vagaries of time, however to paraphrase and borrow a quote, "a wargames club needs two people and two armies" . With this in mind Noel Zaal can attest that the first wargames in Durban was played as early as 1969, making DWGC arguably the oldest wargames club in SA (at least until someone proves otherwise).
