    Episode 3: Paula Beniston

    In the latest episode of Out of the Traps, host Dave Clark is joined by special guest Paula Beniston, who joined GBGB in 2020 to oversee the newly launched Greyhound Retirement Scheme.  A step-change in the way the sport approaches retirement, the GRS attaches a financial bond to each newly registered racing greyhound - paid for jointly by owners and GBGB. The full bond is unlocked when a greyhound enters an approved homing centre which means a greyhound’s future is safe and secure before they have even stepped foot on the track. Podcast regular GBGB Senior Stipendiary Steward Paul Illingworth also makes an appearance to answer listeners' emails.
