The Worksop MCVC opened in December 2019 but had to close in early 2020 when the Covid-19 crisis broke out.
Councillor Eaton said: “Throughout the crisis the veteran’s clubs and I have been supporting veterans.
"We have on numerous occasions provided support to veterans’ families, acting as a guard of honour at their loved one’s funeral.
"It’s great to be back with my veteran friends and to thank them for all their great work.”
