0Hi everyone,
This summer, Amsterdam belongs to two things close to the heart of everyone on this forum: Pride and rowing. From 25 July to 8 August the city hosts WorldPride Amsterdam, with the world-famous Canal Parade sailing through the canals on Saturday 1 August. And from 24 to 30 August, the World Rowing Championships come to the Bosbaan. If you're travelling here for either one — or both — we'd love to put you on the water yourself.
We're TopRow, a rowing centre right on the Amstel, about fifteen minutes from the centre of town. Inclusion isn't a slogan for us — it's part of the sport here. TopRow has sailed in the Canal Parade several times, and the Royal Dutch Rowing Federation was the first sports federation in the country to sail in Pride under its own flag — a public statement that rowing is a sport for everyone. This community is exactly who we had in mind when we built Experience Amsterdam.
Because it's such a special summer, we're offering Experience Amsterdam the whole month of August. You don't have to worry about a thing: your instructor steers the boat and tells you the story of the city while you row, and every trip finishes with a drink on our terrace on the Amstel.
Three ways to do it:
City Tour by Oar — for experienced rowers. A long, beautiful row through the canal ring, under the Magere Brug (the Skinny Bridge), past the Rijksmuseum, the Anne Frank House and more of the city's landmarks. Discover Amsterdam — for anyone who has never held an oar. Thirty minutes of instruction on shore, then a guided row on the Amstel past the Rijksmuseum and the Heineken building. No experience needed at all. A bit of both — travelling with a partner who doesn't row? We'll mix it, so the two of you get out on the water together and still see Amsterdam in a way a canal cruise can never match — because you're the one in the boat. Sessions run Monday to Friday at 13:00 and 15:00, in English, age 15 and up, from €62.25 per person.
There's no better way to remember a Pride or a World Championships than from the seat of a boat, on the same water the city grew up around.
All the details and booking are on our site: amsterdam.toprow.com. Come row with us — we'd love to see you out here.

DAY
05 Aug 2013
The 2013 Outgames Rower's Beach Party
Date: Monday, 05 Aug 2013
Time: 19h00
Location: Bocadero
Bocadero - Waagnatie
Rijnkaai 150 - 2000 Antwerpen
Description: This is an indoor/outdoor overhang hangar structure with actual sand inside a fenced enclosure. The rowers will have a reserved area underneath the overhang where we can mingle. All are welcome. There is no cover charge. There are two no-host bars where everyone can purchase drinks and you can order Tapas for snacks at the rower's tables or out on the beach.
The hangar and the beach looks out on the river and if the weather is nice, it should be a beautiful evening to enjoy the sunset at 21h22.
Non-rowers are welcome as long as they demonstrate adequate admiration, extensive body worship, and uncontrolled "inappropriate touching" to ascertain the most powerful aspects of a rower's body.
The "Waagnatie" which is a huge exposition area is being used for several different events for the Outgames. On Monday night, it will be the rower's turn to receive their admirers and share stories. Straw hats, flip flops, low-hanging shorts worn in 'commando' style, and lots of smiles are encouraged!
We encourage everyone to "follow" this event and/or RSVP so we can let the bar owners know how many to anticipate.

05 Aug 2013
Passage Through Ghent
Date: Monday, 05 Aug 2013
Time: 09h30
Location: Finish tower at the WatersportBaan (regatta venue)
You can read the full description of the event as well as the list of frequently asked questions. This calendar event is for registration. The cost is 30 Euros per person. There are a total of (8) C4X+ boats available - that means wide body, sculled boats with four rowers and a coxswain.
Unlike a racing shell, the C4X+ is a recreational and touring boat and it is expected that the rowers will rotate every 15 minutes from seat to seat to coxswain to seat. So we all row and we all take turns being the coxie.
To make this fair to everyone, GLRF is taking charge of the registration. By using the calendar event feature here, you can see the capacity as well as who is attending. If you RSVP, we will send you a PayPal request for payment. If you don't pay within five days, we will delete your name!
Hopefully all of your questions have been addressed but if not, you can leave a comment here and we will do our best to give you an answer.
One important note: you must be a GLRF member to RSVP! (it doesn't matter if you are a Shoreside or an OnTheWater member). After you click the "I'm attending" button, your name will be added to the list. If you don't see your OnlineID, click the 'See All' button since OnlineID's are listed alphabetically.
