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!

Nigeria Latest Country in GLRF Community

04 December 2014 - Abuja; Nigeria became the 41st country in the GLRF Worldwide community when a member registered from the city of Abuja.  With the addition of Nigeria, the GLRF Africa - Middle East region has expanded to 6 countries: Israel, Kenya, Nigeria, Qatar, South Africa, and the United Arab Emirates.  For those who wonder about rowing in Africa, there is a strong competitive rowing presence.  Take a look at this article in GLRF Categories:  African Rowing Championships extend medal spread.

When thinking about Africa, most people think of Egypt or Kenya or South Africa.  In fact, Nigeria is known as the "Giant of Africa," with a population of 174 million, making it the most populous country on the African continent.   Nigeria's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the largest in Africa, exceeding US $500 billion, overtaking South Africa, and ranking as the world's 21st largest economy.

A warm welcome to our first Nigerian member, and we hope he will spread the word and encourage other rowers to join from around the African region!
