Occupying the corner of Wern Road and Austin Road. The club's website states that after Major A.I.R. Butler donated a small piece of land in Wern Road in 1922, a temporary building was erected for use by ex-servicemen. On Saturday March 19th 1927, the Panteg branch of the British Legion made its home in the permanent building seen here. The club has survived many transitions and is still used by former Royal Regiment of Wales servicemen for their meetings.
