Meet the WiR Committee. Introducing LUCY GURNEY… • ? Position: Community Engagement Manager for @racing_together. • ? What attracted you to the sport: I have been lucky enough to grow up around horses and racing. • ? Favourite thing about racing: My favourite thing about racing is probably my local Point-to-Point at Guilsborough in Northamptonshire. It sums up all the best parts of racing for me; the horses, the people, and the sense of community, with a bit of competitiveness thrown in. • ? WiR responsibilities: The Mentoring Programme (see website for more details). • ? You should join WiR because: WiR has provided a really useful network, thought-provoking topics for discussion and the Mentoring Programme is invaluable. • ? Fun fact: I once won a Strictly Come Dancing competition, which was a local fundraiser with my now husband – we haven’t continued our ballroom dancing careers! • #InTheRace
