British Shooting has been told it will have to pay at least £400,000 towards its own Olympic legacy.

British Shooting will have to pay at least £400,000 if it wants to find a permanent home for the shooting ranges and equipment used at the Olympic shooting venue at Royal Artillery Barracks at Woolwich in 2012.

This is the Government’s estimate of the extra cost of making facilities “relocatable” which it says is not part of the existing shooting budget.
