The Admin Team



Leadership



Yves Dryden



Head of Sydney Gaymers



Evie leads the Admin Team to ensure Sydney Gaymers achieves its purpose and objectives. She joined as an attendee in 2015 and was amazed by how welcoming the community was. A year later, Evie took up the mantle of Admin so that she could pay it forward. Evie has been the float manager for two consecutive Mardi Gras Parades, contributed greatly to growing Sydney Gaymers to nearly 3,000 strong, and built a world-class team of Admins. As Head of Gaymers, Evie’s role is, simply put, making sure things get done.



Tidge Backhouse



Creative Director



Todd started attending Sydney Gaymers in 2014 and considers themselves to be the bard of the party. An avid fan of RPGs, JRPGs and Tabletop games, Todd is happiest when discussing D&D, Final Fantasy or Suikoden. A big kid at heart, Todd has a myriad of talent, ranging from sculptural design, theatre and organisation, through to corporate executive assistance. Todd joined the Admin Team in 2019 as our Venue Designer, and is tasked with creating the look and feel of our events.
