History
Clwb Ifor Bach has existed since 1983 and was founded by Welsh politician Owen John Thomas. It is named after Ifor Bach, a local rebel against English rule during the 12th century.
The club used to be members-only, with membership limited to Welsh-speakers or those committed to learning the Welsh language. This rule was rescinded in the late 1990s. The club still employs a members only policy during exceptionally busy times, for example when a major rugby international is played at the Millennium Stadium.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“When the history of guilt is written, parents who refuse their children money will be right up there in the Top Ten.”
—Erma Brombeck (20th century)
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
