An exclusive afternoon of sport, good food and high-level networking unfolded at one of the UK’s top shooting destinations

Hosted by Hertfordshire Chamber, the Diamond Club clay pigeon shooting day and BBQ brought together valued patrons and Diamond members for a unique experience of camaraderie and connection.

Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Holland & Holland Shooting Grounds in Northwood, the event offered guests the chance to enjoy 120 acres of open countryside at a venue renowned for its world-class shotgun and rifle instruction.

The day was supported by headline sponsor CAE Technology and associate sponsors Taylor Walton Solicitors. Following a warm welcome from the Chamber team and sponsor representatives, participants received a safety briefing from Holland & Holland’s expert instructors.

Attendees were then divided into six teams, each guided by a seasoned shooting professional. The friendly competition unfolded across a series of clay pigeon sporting stands, offering guests the chance to test their aim and enjoy the thrill of the sport in a relaxed setting.

After the shoot, guests gathered for a seasonal BBQ and drinks reception at the venue’s lodge, which provided a perfect setting to unwind, network and share stories from the day’s activities.

Donna Schultz, CEO of the Chamber, said: “It was an incredible afternoon in a stunning location. The team at Holland & Holland truly made the day special with their expert instruction and warm hospitality. We are proud to host engaging experiences like this for our Diamond Club community and we cannot wait for the next one!”
