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!

22 July 2008 - Mexico City; A junior’s visit to one of the 2008 GLRF regatta booths has resulted in the first registration from Mexico. The rower asked if they could join, after seeing that Mexico was not on the booth’s posterboard display of GLRF worldwide communities. The rower, from Mexico City, marks the fulfillment of GLRF representation in the North American continent. Mexico now becomes the 27th country in the GLRF worldwide community.

Although most rowing is concentrated in and around Mexico City, there are numerous rowing clubs in the Yucatan Peninsula as well as some clubs in the north and east parts of the country. Mexico recently distinguished itself by winning Henley gold at the 2008 Royal Canadian Henley in the Senior B Men’s Pair with a time of 06:32:03 and the Junior B Women’s Single with a time of 08:10:35.
