	laura claydon Recently retired as a partner from Burges Salmon LLP (where I spent all of my 30 year career as a lawyer) specialising in competition and regulatory law. During that time I spent over 25 years advising racecourses on licensing and gambling regulation. As a mad keen horse racing fan that has been a joy. I have owned many point-to-pointers for over 25 years with varying degrees of success (I did win the Exeter Intermediate one year) and have a four year old at the moment that is quite exciting and am looking forward to. I live near Bristol with my partner and 2 very old spaniels.
