Bao Trieu Sportcentre: finally a space of our own !

A dream coming true...

The current space in the Platform Theatre has been inadequate for years now. Even prior to my accident in 1995 I was occupied with finding a new space. As a result of the accident, my priorities shifted: of course my own revalidation came before developing Bao Trieu. That strategy worked well: we currently have almost 200 members, a figure that vastly exceeds the memberships of 1995! However, the rise in the amount of members can increasingly be experienced through lack of space. In particular, our chairperson mr. H.J. de Mooij has worked hard and successfully to change this situation: we now obtain our own space.
A dream comes true: Bao Trieu Sportcentre, Spicastraat 198, 9742 LZ Groningen.
