Philip Yapp, Member of GWCT and the South East Wales GWCT Committee, added “‘This stunning venue and impressive clay ground provided a relaxed afternoon for guests to practice before the game season. There were numerous auction lots including days game shooting, shooting accessories and works of art which, as in previous years, attracted strong interest. It is also a great opportunity to catch up with old friends interested in country sports”.
