40th anniversary in 2020. The founder members of the club felt that our insignia should reflect the past and present history of the Torfaen Valley.  This was a time of great change in the industrial fortunes of South Wales.  The coalmines were closing and the steelworks contracting.  The members wanted to show that the heavy industry workers would not be forgotten,  Panteg Steel Works was approached to provide the stainless steel.  The Management of the works kindly offered to make and donate the insignia.  \r\n\r\nThe base of the \u2018gong\u2019 is made of stainless steel.  The black circle represents the coal industry.  On this is the engraved stainless steel bearing the name of the Club.
