TIME is being called at Cleethorpes Social Club which will shout last orders on July 12.
Even the Christmas party due to be held as it always is in July has been cancelled, along with a members' day trip to Skegness.
Manageress Lucy Pope said the owner John Sant is in poor health and has decided to close the popular venue, on the corner of Grimsby Road and Daubney Street, after more than 30 years.
Prior to it being a social club it was Cleethorpes Naval Club and has been serving customers for more than 40 years.
Lucy, who has been the licensee for the last five years, said: "It is the end of an era, but we will be going out with a party."
Club member Sher White said: "We have invited the world and his wife to our closing party.
"We are all devastated that it is closing because John (Sant) has a good nature and has made it like one big family. Everyone knows everyone else."
She added: "We have done a lot for charities, including Debs' Fight For Life, When You Wish Upon A Star, Cancer Research and St Andrew's Hospice."
The club also hosted the Daubney Street Neighbourhood Watch meetings in the past.
Sher added: "We have seen a lot of the children of the members grow up and become members themselves."
The closing party for the club, which is normally open Monday to Saturday, will be on Saturday, July 12, from 8pm, and feature live entertainer Ian Marshall.
Regular Terry Yull said: "It is a very sad day. I have been coming here for 20 years. I came when the old Clee Park closed down and was demolished."
Member John Latham, 46, said: "I am gutted. We bring our little one up here because it is one of those places where they can run around safely.
"The day trips to Skegness and Ingoldmells were great fun. It has been my second year as a member and my girlfriend and I are very sad it is closing."
The club also had a successful junior football team called Santos Juniors and also hosted a darts, dominoes and pool team.
