Ms King said she was thrilled and humbled by this appointment “I’m excited for this new challenge and am honoured to take on the CEO role. The Toowoomba Turf Club has a rich, proud history in Toowoomba and I’m thrilled to work with the TTC Management Committee to ensure a strong future. The Club has seen some significant changes over the past 12 months, including the announcement of the shift for Weetwood to Spring 2020, the new management committee, and facility improvements – all of which are key steps to a bright future”.
