Adding News Guidelines

Would you like to add a news article? Great! We would love it if you did. All submissions require approval before publication so here are some editorial guidelines:

Latest News is meant for articles that are of interest to the gay rowing community and the GLRF community. Topics of interest might include:

how your club is doing something for gay rowing or being supportive of the gay community,
what you as a GLRF member are doing for the rowing community,
if your club is sending a squad or team to compete at a gay-focused regatta,
if your club or team is featured in the gay media.

What may not get past the editorial desk are stories that are club-centric (gay or straight) such as coming in first at such and such regatta or hosting a fundraiser or enjoying an end of season shrimp on the barbie. We do have an outlet for that and really encourage GLRF members to explore that: create a blog on GLRF for your club!

Want to run an article idea past the editorial first? Sure! Just send a PM to glrfcentral!

30 May 2006 - Montreal; The Organizing Committee of the 1st World Outgames has announced a sports-only registration fee option for all sports. Participants may elect to register for any sport for CA$75. The registration fee entitles an athlete the ability to participate and compete in one sport, receive a participation medal, and a souvenir bag. The transportation pass, and tickets to the opening and closing ceremonies are excluded. Look at the flyer:

The news is a boon to rowers, many of whom felt the registration fee made the regatta too expensive. The Regatta Organizing Committee expects a surge in last minute registrations as crew members will be able to entice other club rowers to compete in their boats, and rowers will find flying in for a long weekend affordable. Rowers who select the sport-only registration will still be able to enter an unlimited number of events. To accommodate the last minute registration option, the cut off for regatta entries has been extended to 16 June 2006 at 24:00h.
