I'd back that entirely.
It's criminal that they're even contemplating spending upwards of £18million on a temporary facility.
The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games are, in my mind, being disingenuous when they say that the Royal Artillery Barracks was partially chosen as a site as it is an iconic location of great significance to shooters and shooting. It may be significant to the military, but not to shooters in the same way as, say, Bisley, just 30 miles away.
Anything but a temporary site. It's farcical and is nothing short of a serious snub to one of our leading medal-winning sports (third in GB's overall Olympic tally after athletics and swimming, if I'm correct).
Please sign the petition.
