The Army & Navy Club of Manchester, Connecticut is experiencing the same difficulties as most Veterans organizations throughout the Country. Membership is decreasing. The Club lost its last WWI Veteran Several years back, the WWII Veterans are dying off as are many Korean War Vets, Vietnam era veterans were not big on joining Veterans organizations upon return from active duty, and there are just not that many people serving in the Armed Forces as there once was.

At one point the Army & Navy Club had well over 2,000 members. Today its membership is just 300 strong. In actuality this is a much larger membership than most Clubs in the area. This can be attributed to the fact that this is not your typical Veterans Organization. The Army & Navy Club is strictly a local organization. It has no national affiliation. It has no political agenda and was founded primarily to promote comradeship between veterans of the United Armed Forces.

The Club, which is located at 1090 Main Street in Manchester, was founded in 1919 for returning World War I Veterans. The Cheney Brothers Textile Mills donated the property on which the Club stands. Local businesses and citizens donated building materials and labor. The Club has opened its membership to veterans of all wars. The original members have gone the way of all good soldiers but the organization remains active in many patriotic and civic causes.

There are a range of activities sponsored by the Club. There are Card Tournaments. There is a weekly Set Back League, a Dart League, a Shuffleboard League and a Golf League. Bingo is held every Saturday Night throughout the year at 6:30 pm. The Club Bar is open on a regularly scheduled basis six days a week. Drink prices are extremely reasonable.
