Jonsey Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 As you are probably aware the proposed venue for the shooting events at the 2012 Olympic Games is Woolwich Barracks. This is not a suitable venue and despite the best efforts of GB's shooting governing bodies the 'powers that be' are not prepared to move it. The idea is to construct it and knock it down after the Games at vast expense. This will leave shooting in this country with no lasting legacy unlike the majority of other Olympic sports. An E petition to move the venue has been uploaded onto the 10 Downing St website and I would ask that you sign up to support the attempt to move it. Can you please send this onto people in your address book to maximise the number of signatories.

Catamong Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Let's bump this one up, where are all of the Essex mafia in all of this..?? They stand to be the biggest winners if the venue is switched to Dartford, because of the vastly improved facilities that will result. So c'mon Boys, sign up, even MC should come on board, you've threatened to join the CPSA next year and show us all how to do it, so put your name down, stand up and be counted, who knows, it might make them think again..??

Wookie Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 And done from me too... If things move closer to Dartford, it means it's nearer to me. Just wish this was something we actually had a say in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonsey Posted December 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Yes that is the problem Wookie but it's still important to be heard, regardless of whether we can actually change things. Thanks guys for signing the petition and if you could forward it to friends and family that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Good luck with, I have done it, but I absolutely agree with LV. I am in no way defeatest, but you have to be realistic. So, I have also asked for Hunting to un-banned, handguns to be un-banned, petrol to be 50p and gallon and Snickers to be called Marathons again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonsey Posted December 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 ooooh where's the Marathon petition. I'll sign that one. I wholly agree with your comments, however someone got off their backside and started the petition mailed around 250 people to start it off and feels passionately about trying to make a difference. So i will not widdle on their bonfire because they are trying. Who knows something may change, you just don't know. Anyway thanks again.

Guest The Outlaw Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 We have a labour govornment so there could be a knee jerk reaction our way if we make a big enough noise. It works for everyone else. Or is that being to optomistic? Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 E Petitons are worthless. I have already written to my local MP. Long story, I went on a shoot day with some great people from Dartford Shooting Ground and it was about this time last year they were looking to drum up support.
