Leicestershire Fire and Rescue received the call at around 10pm on Saturday (1st of May), with the building being 'well alight' when they got there.

Teams from Lutterworth, Rugby, Southern, Western, Hinckley, Wigston, Birstall, Loughborough and Kibworth were all called to help tackle the blaze.

Thankfully the building was vacant at the time of the fire.

Several fire engines were reportedly still on the scene this morning (Sunday 2nd May).

Police were also called to attend as well the gas and electricity board to isolate supply to the club.

The fire service said there was concern over several small propane cylinders in the area, which could have exploded if the fire reached them.

An investigation is underway to determine the cause of the fire.

Meanwhile the Club said they will be closed 'until further notice'.
