This club is part of a large community centre with a main hall (the Oak Room), the Woodland Room and Yew Room (for functions) and the Elm Room and the Birch meeting rooms. It is run by a charitable trust who took over when the local authority could no longer afford to support it. It hosts a range of community activities throughout the week. There are tennis courts and bowls plus a large games field for rugby union (Croesyceiliog RFC) and football, including the home ground of Croesyceiliog AFC who play in the Welsh Football League. Head upstairs for the club itself where you will find a small drinking area near the bar that gives access to the 'D I Alexander Games Room' which is a cosy room with a pool table and dart board; the club has a number of teams participating in local leagues. From the games room a door leads out on to a balcony, with a covered and heated smoking area, that looks out over the playing fields. Back inside there is also a comfortable lounge with a TV, an impressive trophy cabinet, and pictures, including some of past teams and individuals associated with the club. Three handpumps are on standby to dispense the guest ale and sometimes two at busy times such as Six Nations rugby season. The ales are sourced from breweries of all sizes, local or from further afield and are keenly priced. Beware the Felinfoel Double Dragon when on sale as it's a keg ale served through a handpump. The large function room is available for hire via the local community trust by telephone or email: moc.liamg@tcdaordnaldoow.
