Towngun Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 PLEASE TAKE THIS MESSAGE AS YOUR OWN AND PASS IT ON TO ALL YOUR SHOOTING FRIENDS - OUR SPORT IS AT RISK AND IN MANY WAYS Dear Friends,Supporters and Customers, Some of you may be aware that it is proposed that the name of the Birmingham Gun Quarter is changed to the invented title of St.Chads and St.Georges for what, it appears, is an effort by a small element of Birmingham City Council Councilors* to remove the "Gun Quarter" from the proud history of this fine city. The reason for this initiative was a 50 signature petition from "residents" of the Newtown and Lozells area of the city, which is some distance away from the industrial Gun Quarter. For over 250 years our Gunmakers (both men and women) have promoted a secure and safe environment, supported our Armed Forces and produced world class products exported across the globe. If you feel you would like to support our industry and keep our name and traditions please visit www.savethebirminghamgunquarter.co.uk and register your support. *It should be noted that several Birmingham City Councilors agree with our views and have signed our petition. Thank you and Safe Shooting, PLEASE TAKE THIS MESSAGE AS YOUR OWN AND PASS IT ON TO ALL YOUR SHOOTING FRIENDS - OUR SPORT IS AT RISK AND IN MANY WAYS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David BASC Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 We have been running the petition on our home page all this week and we have aslo been lobbying the Council. Everyone should sign this petition! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Done. (For info: Different cause, but same principle, had the same action in our town. There is old legislation going back to when the numbers of residents in a council area was very small and therefore only a relatively small number of residents could instigate a petition. Now this figure is generally out of all proportion to the actual number of residents. As I understand it and as the looneys (but clever) have discovered this one, the numerical figure will be changed to a percentage.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
