The 2020–21 Season would have been a historic season for the club celebrating its 100 year anniversary but celebrations were put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic. There will soon be something organised for the centenary, and there will be a book written about the club's history, including extracts from the previous 75-year anniversary book, written by Dai Bowen. This centenary book will focus on history, but more importantly, people's experiences and stories of the club.
