I'm always up for going on the odd work-related jolly (hint, hint!). Sadly, there aren't as many of offer as there used to be.
When news reached me about this, though, I must admit my first reaction was: That sounds like a bit of a jolly!
Apparently the Lords take on the Commons every year in a clay shoot and the 2007 one recently happened at Squerryes Court in Kent.
According to the BASC, the event helps to demonstrate the benefits of safe and responsible shooting sports, and provides an informal forum for MPs and peers to discuss issues affecting shooting.
If you say so.
The Lords team ended up narrowly winning, if you're interested.
