LEGION Freehold The freehold of the Club's premises (officially named Glan-yr-Onnen) at 45 Newton Road is the Royal British Legion itself. The premises were originally a donation made by Legion members in Mumbles to the national charity, based in London. Nowadays, the Club pays rent to the Legion for the right to use the Club, and to help with the UK-wide financing of the charity.
