Cameron Thomas MP gained a first-hand perspective of how a local shoot operates on a recent visit to a syndicate in Gloucestershire.
The newly-elected Liberal Democrat MP for Tewkesbury, Cameron Thomas, visited the Knoll Hill syndicate in Gloucestershire. The visit provided insight into the shoot’s approach to conservation work, sustainable land management and the challenges facing the local shooting community.
Keen to extend their hospitality to Cameron, the syndicate provided a breakfast of their own pheasant and venison sausage sandwiches as part of the visit. During the meal, the MP discussed firearms licensing, as well as proposed legislative changes and their potential impact on his constituents.
Knoll Hill, managed by Mark Williams and Ian Phillips, prides itself on being inclusive and community-driven. They explained that while shooting is at the heart of what they do, the syndicate is about far more than just the shoot day. It’s about camaraderie, countryside stewardship and the shared experience of being out in nature. As they put it: “A brace of pheasant or two to take home at the end of the day is a bonus.”

Would you be willing to host your local MP? It could be a clay ground, a game shoot, your deer management area etc.
