If you don't have a

spot will be found for you in whatever is going on.
We are currently short of miniatures game organisers, so
if you are miniatures wargamers and are looking for a
game, try to let
Lawrence
Ho
know what armies you are willing to bring to the meeting
in advance and what rules system you want to play so
that we can try to let other members of like interest
know in advance.

39th Annual General Meeting of the HKSW held Saturday 24
April 2021 |
|
|
 |
|
The 39th Annual General Meeting of The Hong Kong Society of
Wargamers was held at KITEC. There were 18 members attending. Due
to the Coronavirus, there was no AGM last year and our last AGM
was held in August, 2019. Our members passed the following
motions: |
|
|
 |
|
1. Our Treasurer’s report. The present rates of $220 subs and $80
door fee would be retained. |
|
|
 |
|
2. Our Committee members were re-elected, but reduced from 9 to 8
as Christopher Chu had passed away last year. |
|
|
 |
|
3. To put our resources to better use, if we are expecting less
than 12 attendees using 6 tables (6 foot by 5 foot) by the
Wednesday of the week of a meeting, then we postpone the two room
meeting and book one room instead. Therefore members should book
their tables at least 3 days before the meeting. Otherwise, the
un-booked tables would be allocated to our members on a first come
first served basis at the meeting. |
|
|
 |
|
4. We talked about various means of increasing our membership.
Our Chairman encouraged each of our members to refer a new member
to the Society. The Members Co-ordinator recommended we invite a
member to join the Society’s Committee to help the Society to
recruit new members so that he can make use of his office and have
adequate resources to put forth his suggestions. The Historical
Miniature Co-ordinator suggested the Society avoided too great a
focus on DBMM and organised more activities in the other areas of
wargaming, such as Napoleonics Miniature Wargames, World War 2
Wargames, Star Wars Sci-Fi Miniatures Wargames, Dystopian Wars
Naval, etc. By developing these new programmes for our members,
those wargamers who played these wargames could join them at our
monthly meeting and the Society can increase its members’ base. |

After Action Reports from Past Meetings
We were in the news again in the now defunct Australian bi-monthly
magazine Broadsword, issue 10 of which carried an illustrated in
depth introduction to HKSW. They also reprinted a couple of
articles from old issues of
Despatches. Jeff Herbert and Michael Withington, fame (if not
fortune) await you; your articles, respectively, on the "Successors" and
"Wargaming Blitzkrieg" were continued in issues 11 and 13.
We also made the press in issue 528 of HK magazine, which ran an article
on the offbeat clubs of Hong Kong. We rubbed shoulders with the
likes of the Condoms of the Month Club (the mind boggles) and the
Hong Kong Laughter Club
(if they want a real laugh, they should come along to one of our club
meetings). We weren't shed in too bad a light, although needless to
say, they got some of the facts wrong. Read the full report
here.
As most of you will already know, we made it into the pages of the South
China Morning Post. You can read the full article by clicking on
the image of the page on the right. Whilst not entirely accurate,
it has not done us any disservice, as we have had several approaches by
potential members since its publication. We were as a result asked
to stage a two-day event at Cyber Port in mid-April 2007. Such is
the power of the press . . .
As a consequence, HKSW's first ever war and strategy
game show was staged at Cyberport on the weekend of 21/22 April 2007.
Another magazine to feature an article on the HKSW is the Japanese
wargaming publication "Command". See what they said
here.
 The
latest publication with a feature on the HKSW, the "Macao Daily News",
wrote about the 2016 HKSW De Bellis Magistrorum Militum (DBMM)
competition. The article attempts to introduce miniature wargaming
to its readers and explains the misconceptions about wargaming generally
held by the public. The report explains that the
HKSW is an organisation that promotes wargaming in Hong Kong and, in
addition to hosting regular meetings twice per month, holds competitions
annually. In Hong Kong, DBMM is the most popular miniature
wargame system simulating ancient battles and this year's competition
successfully attracted many participating players from overseas,
including from Thailand, Taiwan and New Zealand. The link to the
article on the Macao Daily News website can be found
here.
