The Hulls Angels Wargames club is run by a group of avid hobbyists with over 40 years experience of all aspects of the hobby.

We have three areas to use and enough space for about twenty 6' by 4' gaming boards..

What can't I do?
We have a few rules to make the Club safe and comfortable for everyone. You can't smoke or drink alcohol on Club premises, or use your own modelling knives. Other than that - provided it doesn't spoil anyone else's enjoyment of the Club - you are pretty much free to do what you like. For more information on things like this, see the Club Rules
