2000 The Millennium
Trebanos in a giving mood
In 2000 the committee gave all its 270 club members a memento to mark the turn of the century, a Welsh dragon in Trebanos colours. They also had for sale commemorative plates and tankards and celebrated throughout that season with functions at the clubhouse.
Was change good?
In 2000 the old Pheasant Bush public house had become available and the committee decided to purchase this property. After protracted negotiations they finally purchased the building in 2001.The old building was re-furbuished and new extensions built at a cost of over £400,000. On 3rd December 2003 the club was officially opened by Mr Glanmor Griffiths, former Treasurer and President of the WRU and also attending was Mr David Moffat, Chief Executive of the WRU.
Trebanos RFC were now located in a prime position on the main road, 123 Swansea Road, Trebanos, a new beginning! However this failed to materialise, the amount of support required to facilitate the debt incurred in its relocation to Swansea Road, did not materialise. It meant a lot of heartache and soul searching for the officials and trustees of Trebanos RFC to recommend the sale of the club and at a duly convened meeting of members in November 2007 they voted for the social club to be sold. At present negotiations are taking place on its sale. (If there are any ’money men’ out there who want to help, get in touch quickly). Currently Trebanos play in Division 5 South West having made the descent from Division 3 in the last three years. Unfortunately, like all small village clubs, it does not have resources to compete with larger clubs in this professional environment and has to continually produce players year after year. As a small village it is credit to the committees over the years that rugby remains in the village, especially with the social and cultural changes that have taken place in the last 10 years. The club currently run a second XV and a talented Youth XV and an inspiring junior section.
