JCB is a main sponsor of the National Gamekeepers' Organisation (NGO) and will support the event for the second year running.

The NGO/JCB Team Flush is open to teams of four (or three) shooters, and the 700-bird simulated-game team flush will be shot over seven stands including grouse, high pheasant, vermin and duck. Look out too for the pool shoot - a new addition for 2013.

Also at the E. J. Churchill Shooting Ground will be an off-road driving course set up by JCB, where the JCB Workmax 800D UTV can be put through its paces in both mud and water and up-and-down steep banks.

The event on 21 March is open to both NGO members and non-members. Shooting starts at 9am. Pre-entry is recommended (entries can be taken on the day, subject to space). The cost is �300 per team, with re-entry available on the day.

Geoff Garrod, a Vice-Chairman of the National Gamekeepers' Organisation, said: "The aim of the NGO/JCB Team Flush is to give everyone a great day out - the atmosphere last year was brilliant. It's also a big fundraiser for the NGO. So, it's important that as many teams as possible get behind the shoot and enter. Don't dither. Sign up now."

He added: "The NGO/JCB Team Flush has ingenious stands and great prizes. I'd love to see even more teams turn out on 21 March. Also, a huge thank you to JCB for its sponsorship and to E. J. Churchill for its immense assistance. See you all there."

JCB's Utility Vehicle Director Keith Hoskins said: "We are delighted to be closely associated with the NGO, and also to sponsor this important fundraising clay shoot for the organisation. Gamekeepers carry out important conservation work in the British countryside. It is rewarding to know that our vehicles are helping to deliver that. Without a doubt gamekeepers are the major influencers in estates' purchasing decisions, and UK estates management is one of the major markets for the JCB Workmax UTV."

Rob Fenwick, Managing Director at E. J. Churchill, said: "We are delighted to be hosting the NGO/JCB Team Flush for the second year at the E. J. Churchill Shooting Ground. Last year's event was fantastic fun, and we saw a great turnout of gamekeeper teams - the true custodians of our countryside. I can report keepers don't miss much! And it goes without saying, we are honoured to be helping support the important work of the National Gamekeepers' Organisation. Let's do it again in 2013."
