NSWC - now the Northern Sydney Wargames Club (http://members.ozemail.com.au/~gkirby/nswa.htm), but when I was a member in the early 70s, it was the NSW Wargames Confederation.
The Northern Sydney Wargames Club was founded at least by 1970 (maybe a couple of years earlier) as the Northern Wargames Association, then by 1991 changed its name to the Northern Sydney Wargames Club. Gamers from all over Sydney come to have a great time at the NSWC. After spending most of the clubs life at Lindfield (Masonic Hall, then Seniors Hall) we were forced out by God's people and moved to Turramurra for a couple of years where more of God's people pushed out from and the local Masons did not want us at their hall we moved to Rydalmere where of one of God's closest offered us a place to be inside the old church. The club has gained more new members and some returned members since this more within two years than the previous 10 years at Turramurra and Lindfield (tells you something).
I was there during High School, when it was at the Masonic Hall in Lindfield.
At Cancon, I saw some old familiar (well, from 40 years ago) faces, who I spent many a happy hour with, playing a heavily modified and extended version of the Paragon's Aerial Dogfight Rules 1916-1918 ( not to be confused with the revised and extended Paragon's New Aerial Dogfight Rules 1916-1918 (1977) )
These used 1/72 plastic models - mostly Airfix, a few Revell or Scratchbuilt, attached to clothes pegs, then on 1/2" wooden dowel rods inserted in heavy wooden stands.
The same mob are now into WGF in a big way.
