It was blinking freezing. Great day I shot like a legend and was severely given grief for not paying and getting pretty much being top gun trolololol

West Mercia or Malvern (not sure which or if they are linked) are sorting my renewal at the moment - been on a temporary for a couple of months, it's for the best though as I was eyeing up a Caesar Guerini Summit and a Benelli M2 at West Mids Shooting Ground over Christmas!
Shot a friends .410 single barrel hammer gun on Boxing Day; only 10 shots shooting I think 9g cartridges but it's probably the most fun I've had shooting clays.

Yes it's a Spanish Eibar I've had for ten odd years. Bought for £150 and shoots like a dream. Not worried about it and can be thrown around in the gun bus without being paranoid it'll get knocked.
Did you shoot the 120 birder just before xmas -
I sent my renewal off last July - two months before it was due - rang up last week and it's still way down the list.
Hoping to go shooting with my neighbour this weekend (Clay shoot), it's my first time that I'll have ever gone shooting but he's been doing it for years. Hopefully I'll enjoy it and be able to pick it up as a proper hobby as they go every week.
Any tips for a novice so I'm not completely out of my depth on the day? I'll end up borrowing one of his guns, be good to go with as much knowledge as possible even though I'll have help on the day

@DodgeeRascal been pondering getting a .410 to go squirelling. That, or a hushpower of some sort. Might try one out after the season.
@shauncr91, hit youtube! There's some fantastic videos online, and you can likely pick a 'tutorial' video on clay shooting -- there's tons of videos

Before worrying about hitting clays learn about being safe and the etiquette required
oh I love his name 
Oh and genuinely I was looking for the worst video
From experience:
If the garage is integral to the house maybe depending on if it is alarmed and how your firearms officer feels about it.
If it is a separate building - almost 0% chance. I know of the odd super rare exception to this.

West Mercia/Malvern are a nightmare, my last renewal took six months...

No, we were there on Tuesday the 20th and did 100 escorted Sporting and 25 Skeet before heading home. Tried to get over to Mid Wales or Fauxdegla last week but the weather didn't play ball so made do with a 60 birder at Kinver.

I've never shot any game or vermin but the owner said it belonged to his grandparents and they used it to shoot rabbits from the window
. I loved shooting it even though it was a hammer and in quite bad shape - gave it a bit of character and so light and basically zero recoil!Kinver.. - Now there is a name from the past - used to go most weeks till there was a row between Terry and others who ran it. It's to far to go now as I moved from Telford to near Hodnet.

Ahh didn't know that! Think it's just Terry there now. It's a good Sunday shoot but yeah not good enough to warrant a drive that far!
