After 82 years of rugby playing at llantwit Major, with a break of only 10 years just before and during the second World War, the club was accepted as full members of the Welsh Rugby Union in 1962. Plans were drawn up to build a clubhouse worthy of the club on land adjacent to the field bought in 1960 for £2,500. The land used to house the old cattle market, work commeced in Easter 1962. the club had already sold parts of the land to fund the building.
