Salford Lads' Club has had to cancel its summer camp for only the thid time in its history because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The trip was axed during the Second World War and during the general strike in 1926.
Planning for the camp had been going on since January - and 25 members were signed up to go.
Veteran volunteer at the club Dennis Lewtas said: "It seems like the end of an era, but we will hopefully bounce back.
"Cancelling the camp is the right decision because it is about the safety of the young people and our volunteers."
In 1940, the camp was set up and ready before events in Europe led to the cancellation of trains the Friday before the club travelled.
Archives contain pictures of the 'ghost camp' that year, which no one attended.
There were no camps until 1947 in Kettleshulme in Derbyshire. That event was the first attended by the club's oldest members, Archie Swift and Eric Salthouse.
Club secretary, Brian Ball, said: "It is a huge disappointment to everyone at the club, it looked like being a really big camp this year, but we have to follow guidelines for everybody's safety."
The club held its last open day for visitors last Saturday and this week all the weekly young people and adult groups closed.
Several gigs planned at the club, where Noel Gallagher, and Tim Burgess of the Charlatans have performed in the last year will be cancelled too.
The Edwardian brick building, which dates from 1904, has also beenm used for numerous film and TV sets, including Peaky Blinders - the hugely successful series about a Birmingham crime dynasty.
Cold Feet, Coronation Street, and Shameless are among other TV programmes that have used the building which retains it original tiling and fittings.
The club has 170 members and the camp was due to take place during the spring Bank Holiday in May at Aberystwyth.
