Hindu Cultural Centre In Ipswich
We are in negotiations with the agents Fen Wright for the
hiring of the old Ipswich Buddhist Centre, 1-5
Throughfare, Ipswich, opposite the entrance to ICVS, for the Hindu
Cultural Centre. Hope fully we will be able to secure it on short
term lease for three years extending it to for
further six years from 31st March 2010, provided the
landlords agree on the appropriate rent and service charges
that we have suggested to them.
We will keep you informed on the progress for the acquiring of
premises for the Ipswich Hindu Samaj Cultural Centre. For latest
information, please see the December issue of the IHS
newsletter.
We are also looking for other suitable properties for the
Hindu Cultural Centre in Ipswich.
