Over the last few months we have been exploring the option of taking on a leased facility at Fountain Court in Market Harborough. It has involved a great deal of in depth analysis of opportunity, costs and revenue; and many, often quite intense, discussions.

After the recent EGM we have been considering an updated proposal (see below), based on a new improved offer from the landlord.

It was decided that whilst there are insufficient votes in favour as it stands, if we were able to raise additional funds of around £20,000 then it would be viewed  favourably by the Trustees as the financial risks would be suitably mitigated .
