Ave!
Way back in 1968 I formed the North London Wargames Group (NLWG). I ran the club with the aid of a committee for three years after which, due to job considerations and other obligations, I was forced to resign. I'm still alledged to be an honourary life vice president, although, until recently, I've had little or no contact with the club since 1972?
Some of the original members, who were school-boys then, are running the club now. NLWG is possibly one of the oldest wargames clubs in the UK.
In August, last year, the club launched it's very first website. It's still in the embryonic stage with very little traffic. If you click on the link beneath my sig you'll see what I mean.
I have this idea about what I call virtual members, similar to us on this Forum.
If you except the basic concepts of pen-pals and twinnning between cities, why not twinning between wargame clubs?
I would imagine that most wargames clubs, irrespective of where they are in the world, share many fundamental interests.
What if, all wargamers, who are also members of this Forum, register on the NLWG website and initiate discussions?
It would be an interesting experiment to see what happens. Who knows, it just might be the start of something good and long lasting.
I'm curious to know what other members think of this idea?
