2018 Management Committee
We are very proud to announce our new management committee. With this group of passionate club members, we are hoping to see plenty of amazing changes come to the club during 2018
President: Tenille Webster.
Tenille has been a member of QRF since 2015 and club president for the past two years including her reelection for 2018. Being the owner of Drakes Rattery, Tenille loves both rats and mice and has been breeding rats for the past 4 years and recently started breeding mice. Tenille is very passionate about QRF and our shows and enjoys being able to share that passion with members and public in QRF.
Vice President: Sandy O'Hare
Sandy joined QRF in 2014 along with her husband Roy, who can often be found in the canteen making lunch for the day. Sandy is often judges Rat Varieties and loves to see all the different people and their pets come along on show days. Sandy is also one of our Registered Breeders and runs Rat Addiction Rattery from her home with the help of Roy and her sons.
Secretary: Renee Barnes
Renee is still fairly new to QRF having joined at the beginning of 2017, however, that does not mean she doesn't share the love and passion that most of our members have. Renee has owned a few rats over the past 10 years and started breeding at the start of 2018. Renee enjoys QRF shows and believes they are a great place to learn and enjoy the company of others with a love for rats. QRF Shows also allow for Renee's competitive side to come out. She loves rats because of the unconditional love and intelligence they have.
Show Secretary: Caitlin Gardner
Caitlin's first show was at the Gold Coast Show in 2014. She has been a passionate member since and very rarely misses a show despite living in N.S.W. Caitlin owns and breeds both rats and mice through Dovah's Rattery and BAM! Mousery. She has been breeding since 2015 and while she is currently taking a break in breeding she still comes to QRF Shows to meet and chat to fellow rodent lovers. Given that she lives so far away the shows are also a great way for her to catch up with the many friends she has made through the club.
Treasurer: Lincoln Pedersen
Lincoln has been a member of QRF since 2013 and is also one of our Pet Judges. He loves that QRF shows are a great place for like minded people to meet and talk about their rodent related hobbies and to learn from fellow breeders. Lincoln has owned rats on and off for the past four years and in the last 12 months has started breeding mice. He loves how rats are very playful and their likeness to dogs compared to mice who are fun to watch while they spend hours on their wheel or chasing each other.
