Syndicates are the building blocks of the UK game shooting community, 45% of shoots run primarily as a syndicate. Syndicates not only provide wonderful shooting opportunities and conservation, but are often keystones in their local communities, bringing likeminded folk together to share a passion for the countryside.

Sam Phillips, who runs a syndicate in Lincolnshire, joins us to discuss the joys and challenges of managing a shoot like this, and how he's managed to keep everything going despite the difficulties of the last few seasons.
