Malc Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 PW members may be interested in supporting this: Over £18 million (at the 2006 bid price) will be spent on building the 2012 Olympic shooting sports venue at Woolwich Barracks and then after the Olympics it will be pulled down again. This is not only a total waste of money and an immoral use of resources but more importantly it does not leave any lasting legacy for shooting sports in this country. Every year the Great Britain shooting teams bring home medals from competing in ISSF and FITASC disciplines world wide. Surely it deserves a lasting legacy?

Axe Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I watched this on the box the other night. Why they won't use Bisley is beyond me. Signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob300w Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I watched this on the box the other night. Why they won't use Bisley is beyond me. Signed. Old fashioned, no room for spectators and insufficient parking would be my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hence making the £18million grant well spent, as it could be enjoyed by all for ever more. Its well situated and has a major station nearby, not to mention being close to Heathrow. these were some of the arguements put forward on the programme.

MrToad Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Signed and ready to go , my uncle shoots National and Olympic Skeet but only for Scotland not in the Olympics. Why destroy something that will benefit Britain for years to come, bringing tourists and shooters alike from far regions of the world? Doesnt make sense! Keep Up the Hard Work!
