As you are aware the National Rifle Association have been working hard with members of Parliament to get the London Organising Committee of the Games and the Olympic Delivery Authority to reconsider Bisley as a possible venue for the 2012 shooting.

It had become apparent during the original assessment of Bisley that a potentially less than honest appraisal of the National Shooting Centre had been carried out with intention of making it difficult for the Olympic Board to choose shootings preferred venue.

It has got to the stage where we have wide ranging support for this work from the Lords as a result of large numbers of you writing to your MPs and in particular Lord Corbett.

As a result of this pressure and despite efforts by the Olympic authorities to derail the process, Lord Corbett has asked the ODA to attend a presentation of 'The Bisley Bid' in front of members of the Lords and Commons and then to explain the rationale for their rejection of Bisley as a venue.

The support of the Lords and MPs shows what can be achieved if we all work together in concert towards common goals.
