PRIME Minister David Cameron took to drink in Oxfordshire at the weekend.
The Witney MP, pictured, attended the annual Charlbury Beer Festival, which attracted about 3,000 people.
It hosted the first World Aunt Sally Singles Championship and Mr Cameron launched the event by throwing the first stick. The traditional pub game is played almost exclusively in Oxfordshire.
Festival committee member Nick Millea said: “It was a great endorsement to have the Prime Minister open the event.
“He certainly hit the target on at least one occasion.”
Mr Cameron also sampled a couple of beers, including the 4.4 per cent Summerhill Stout by Big Lamp brewery.
