GAA Leicester Proudly Presents Our New Building Project
We, as the Trustees and the Committee have pleasure in informing all our community members that the process of purchasing the next door building at 97 Hildyard Road, Leicester has been completed on 30th March 2010.
Over the past so many years there has been a growing demand for buying an adjacent property and increasing the size of the hall. We had previously tried unsuccessfully to purchase the adjacent B.U. property but this did not come to fruition.
Then at the beginning of October 2009 this two storey freehold building of approximately 10,000 sq ft came on the market. The Trustees and Management Committee met urgently and commenced negotiations to purchase it. The actual approval of purchasing this building was properly explained at the extraordinary general meeting at our hall on 8th November 2009. The property was left open for viewing for all the members present. At the meeting it was unanimously approved that the property be purchased at agreed price £595,000 subject to planning approval and after carrying out all the necessary searches, structural and property surveys.
