Premier Greyhound Racing pay tribute to Lord David Lipsey who passed away on Wednesday


Garry Nash, Managing Director at Premier Greyhound Racing said:


"Everyone at Premier Greyhound Racing is deeply saddened at the passing of Lord David Lipsey". 

 

"David had a great love for the greyhound, and for greyhound racing as a whole. This love started when he first went racing and then continued and developed as he took home his first greyhound. His enthusiasm for all things greyhound racing was infectious and he commanded great respect throughout his career in the sport" 

 

"We were very lucky to have David as Chair of Premier Greyhound Racing from our inception until his retirement this year.  Throughout this time, we benefitted from his wisdom and guidance which he delivered with dedication, professionalism and no little humour"

 

"Our condolences to Margaret and his family with whom he loved spending time at his home in Wales".
